Gee this sounds just like virus wars, using add-on products to make
up for weakness in the operating system.

A reliable operating system would not permit such modifications in
the first place

Whatever happened with Intel NX technology?

Anyone followed up on that?

"Rootkits" in this case seem to be *more* a good name for this tech than 
what rootkits actually are.
