Carrier IQ has nothing to do with this exploit or with the issue at hand, which is not an issue of "crapware".

The Windows kernel is closed source, no other OEMs are compiling it.

Your argument is flawed.

My comment was comparing security properties of customization processes of the two operating systems, not making any argument (which would require claims to disputed facts – I don't believe I made any).

They're not compiling it, they're writing drivers for it which are then linked in without a recompile.
