I agree. Microsoft's core competency has traditionally been backwards compatibility, but if each security vendor can tamper with windows at the deepest level and is allowed to continue explore all of the ways that they can leverage that... What you end up with is a fleet of different windowses, each diverging further with time. It dilutes the benefits brought by investment into the stability of the system because whatever fights are won in one fragment must be refought in others before you can have confidence in the stability of all fragments.

It seems like madness to me.
