Question... What with all the recent furore over PatchGuard in Vista x64 and
Symantec & McAfee's inability to do what Kapersky and Sapho's do, I found
myself wondering something...

WHY is there no PatchGuard in the 32bit version? I saw a vague mention
about backwards compatibility, but pfft to that I say. Properly written
software doesn't need kernel access, and quite frankly, I'd like my 32bit
system to be a bit better protected thank you very much! Symantec and
McAfee can sod off until they learn to program properly.

So, MS, please... Why is there no PatchGuard in the 32 bit version, and can
we have it please? Even if it's something we have to switch on...
