Anti-cheat drivers are just as much of rootkits, and in practice, they have vulnerabilities that get a lot more hosts pwned than cheats do. Let's get Microsoft to stop loading their drivers.

I agree. Microsoft should provide proper integrity APIs to apps so they don't need such drivers. The fact that the PC ecosystem is so far behind XBox's for platform integrity is a big failure on Microsoft's part towards the PC gaming market.
The "integrity" you speak of is a bad thing. Microsoft should be making that harder to obtain, not easier.
Integrity is needed for a fair playing field. Their is consumer demand for such a fair playing field so it is a good thing for an operating system to respond to customer demand.
