NO. A kernel does not exist to tell you what can be done with your machine.

A kernel exists to manage resources. The management, like so much of software, is configurable in ways that make sense within its design.

Vista is following this perfectly. And in the case of HD content and x64 it's designed to keep you out. This goes against pretty much everything I value in a PC, and I imagine I'm not the only one.
