Make it less secure so we can sell products

Be interesting to see if Symantec tries to make an issue of this in court.

In essence they're trying to say that you have to make it less secure to
make it more secure. The argument that independent driver sigining, which
simply enforces accountability and nonrepudiation, somehow stifles
innovation seems weak to me. And "...claimed that it is possible to
circumvent the security features." neglects to mention that this was found
in a beta, which means it might not exist at all in the finished product.
