    There are still far too many system components which run with spooky elevated privileges. Don’t believe me? Try nuking permissions on Windows update or activation nagware, disconnect from the internet and see how long those changes persist. Sometimes it is a few reboots.

    This is a fundamentally insecure security framework, which no amount of glue or sandboxing can fix.

      how would you expect something like windows update to function without elevated privileges?

      activation nagware

      what?
