Whoah, is it true that the warning will hit users who downloads and tries
to run unsigned games/apps from the net ?

Surely this is bad news for shareware/indie scene.

What a sad day this must be for shareware developers.

How easy it is to apply for a certificate ? How to prove yourself
legit, and how long is it going to take to get approved ?

Looks to me like this is a real show stopper now.

MS just nailed it on the small software developers, freeware and open
source software on windows!
