Security Software and Undocumented API Usage

[ChrisG]

Sometimes if you want to innovate, you NEED to do undocumented things. When you do these things, you need to be absolutely sure that you do them in an architecturally appropriate way and in a way that’s as sound as possible. And, finally, you need to be willing to live with the risk you’re introducing into the project. This might require a pro-active approach (like, being a closer partner with MSFT and testing your product on every new pre-release of Windows to be sure YOU – not your customers – are the first to know when your approach breaks).

Thanks for this advice, Peter. This pretty much addresses what I was thinking about when asking this question.
