Back in 2006 the Microsoft agreed to allow kernel level access for Security companies due to an EU anti trust investigation. They were being sued by anti virus companies because they were blocking kernel access in the soon to be released Vista.

Sick and tired of EU meddling in tech. If third parties can muck around in the kernel, then there's nothing Microsoft can really do at that point. SMH

Can they simultaneously allow this, but recommend against it and deny support / sympathy if you do it to your OS?
