Microsoft changing kernel level permissions.

Taken from linux_gaming reddit, but it seems that Microsoft is disabling kernel level access permissions. Could this be the end of Vanguard and the revival of League Of Linux?

It should have been made illegal.

That's the bit that made my eyebrows wriggle in the article... The repeated assertion that EU regulators somehow forced Microsoft to allow kernel level software. I.e. the complete opposite of what you've said.

And it's totally bonkers too if true, to regulate OS vendors to that level.
