Wonder how much longer it will be before they put the brakes on 'tweaking' the O/S or allowing un-assigned software to run on it?

Just like the modern cars with their engine management systems. Gone are the days when you could tinker under bonnet. Trying to do that now will invalidate your warranty or disable the car completely.

MS already have UAC in place, ELUA clauses which state "you are prohibited from modifying the O/S to overcome technical limitations", as well as the "We don't know what this program is. It must be really bad!" warning messages.
