Man, this is scary. I looked into this unsigned Dll thing a few weeks ago, but since I didn't understand the underlying issue itself, it looks like the OEM or Microsoft themselves could lock out our devices to their approved choices unless we act now.

But what I learned before is that we can essentially get rid of the security warning, but what i haven't tested yet, is will this hopefully resolve this problem for freeware developers in the future. of course they are not going to pay an extra cent to have their app's signed considering they also have to provide a cheap place to host the files for others to download from.

I will be watching this topic closely.
