I didn't have to reboot Windows 7 machine and go through recovery interface to find obscure option that needs to be toggled and authorized in order to do so.
Yes, rebooting Windows one time to do it isn't that bad, but it's a start. I won't be surprised if the next version of Windows (next after Win10) removed that feature completely.
Forcing users to run only signed drivers is a problem because only Trusted Vendors can get proper certification (after paying proper amount of $$ to Trusted Certification Providers). Such restriction will basically kill hardware tinkering, which is one of the goals of the War on General-Purpose Computing.
