    “This incident shows clearly that Windows must prioritize change and innovation in the area of end-to-end resilience,”

    Business-speak for “Maybe it’s time we started making it not break so easily.”

      More like they want to use this to justify locking the kernel from end user change completely, thus enabling them to truly lock down any system.

        I’m fine with game anticheats not having root access.

          I don’t disagree, but it’s MY machine. I can choose to not use the apps that want kernel access, which is about the only thing we can do.

          The reason anti-cheats use kernel is because end users keep playing the games. I don’t have a good answer here, because too many people just can’t be bothered to understand their tacit agreement to this garbage

            At this point I’m scared to install a game without doing a research of what kind of intrusive software it uses. Sometimes it’s just safer to install it on a console.
