I still would vote for further investigation and development on viridian 
enlighten IO. It would bring us out of the hell with driver signing, and 
would also make a lot of stuff easier from the users stand.
The work of James Harper is pretty good but for 2008 x64 more than just 
far away from ready for production.
As I mentioned before a first real win would be to exploit the viridian 
stuff to get an out-of-box working shutdown notification.
