Can't agree.

If broken drivers are such a problem then why do most vulnerabilities come form badly implemented web browsers and poorly implemented network security strategies. It's true that broken drivers can cause problems but they are hardly the biggest security risks out there. More importantly, a digitally signed driver can be as insecure and broken as a signed one. Most vulnerabilities are caused by floored designs and sloppy implementation. If you digitally sign crap it's still crap, good quality control is the important thing.
