Look at it from the commercial side, if we allowed you to crash your computer by allowing you to poke a hole in the memory space of the background scheduler (hypervisor), then everyone would complain that our software was flaky.

What, you mean they dont complain currently
And again, i specifically mentioned access to the LPT port
from "within" my program. Ie if my program owns the thread and the port
why cant i directly read/write to the port.
I'm not after access to the core processes variable space
( as thats reserved for the virus writers )

Not me, i dont even know what a hypervisor is.
And its not as if those who wrote and maintain windozereally know what they are doing, based on the number of patches i currently get
I fully understand its not simple, but the bit i want, i could do in XP and i would like to do it in W7.
Anyway, this is getting circular,
