    Another take on the battles are why it doesn't matter what they do.

      I liked the comments on Arstechnica...
      On the other hand, if Microsoft's decision to shut off direct access to the kernel does result in a much more secure OS, the market for third-party security products will shrink correspondingly
      No wonder they are fighting Microsoft on this!! Shame on you Symantec !

      I think shutting off access to the kernel is a great idea to keep the OS and aps from crashing, even though Windows XP has been solid for me, it has it issues still, especially from the security side.

      Cheers,

          Sometimes I think original Amiga had it right: put the kernel in a ROM.
