Default Vista

I read that the reason the anti virus venders were complaining was that Microsoft closed the Vista Kernal making it difficult if not impossible for third party AV venders to run their programs the way the have in the past. Microsoft didn't ban any one, they just said here are the parameters in which we will be building Vista. Most of Microsoft's users are business from mom and pop stores to General Motors and those customers demanded a more secure operating system locking the kernal goes a long way in doing this.
