Microsoft has released a first draft of programming interfaces meant to help security firms create products that work with kernel protection features in Windows Vista.

Security companies, including market leaders Symantec and McAfee, had complained that Microsoft locked them out of the kernel.

I'll get heat over this, so I might as well deal with it straight away.
If this is an indication of things to come, and is kosher, then I was *wrong* about MS not changing. Nevertheless, it would also be nice if they would stop FUD-spreading.
And if I was wrong, then the fact that I was wrong, in this instance, is GOOD.
There. I said it. OK?
Thankyou.
