    If it's true, I'll be very happy with that. I hope that failure with crowdstrike taught MS to better choosing of things having a kernel level access. Anticheats shouldn't have it.

      Says who? The author makes a leap from endpoint security features for enterprise being moved out of kernel space to kernel level anti-cheat no longer being possible. The MS blog post doesn't even mention gaming. For all we know, this change may apply to Windows Server and Windows 11 Enterprise only or not apply to gaming anti-cheat at all.

        I think they're just inferring or making some leaps on what those impacts mean for gaming and their anti-cheat tools

        Asking as a non-Windows user: isn't it good actually? E.g. this would make Sony-style rootkits also impossible (which makes some people twitch to this very day).

        This quote is just simply disingenuous. Forcing people to install all kind of magic kernel-level driver-imitations to be able to play the game du jour is the opposite of freedom.
