What's the big deal. Drivers require admin permission and can be used as root kits.

My experience with MS signed drivers is that their stamp of approval is worthless.  I had a MSHQL signed driver that crippled a win 9x box long ago.  

This is just MS trying to control their customers lives more and more. Do they charge companies for the MSHQL certification?  

Can you see the day when MS tries to abuse this?  "Hmmm, Nvidia... your latest drivers include OpenGL.  You need to release DirectX only to earn our MSHQL signiture."

Better yet, "You're going to release Linux drivers too?  You really want that MSHQL certification?"

LOL! I had this sort of message appear when I installed an old NT Cannon printer driver (there was no XP version) and it works with no problems. I think Windows users should ignore it too.
