I used Windows XP SP2 for 2 yeas with DEP active *for all the programs* and
not *only for the system files* and I didn't find any incompatibility. Why in
Vista Beta2 the DEP is not active for all programs by default? Many users
don't care about security and so they don't know about this technology and
they will never configure the DEP and so I think Microsoft should enabled it
by default for all the programs.
 
Because it's a processor specific thing - can't be turned on if there's no
support for it.
