Fiscal responsibility?

So now that MS is taking on kernel protection all on its own, does that mean they'll take fiscal responsibility if it is cracked and harm comes?

This certainly makes legal ground for same. It's not open and shut, but it's a pretty bold move. In the past there have been so many possibly responsible companies that blame would have been impossible to assign. Now, if this protection fails, there is only a single company responsible for the failure. And if that failure costs money, you can expect that there will be parties with the legal muscle to expect to be compensated.

Good luck MS. You are definitely not the only corporation with a competent legal team...

No. It expressly states just in every single EULA that Microsoft does not provide any guarantees as to the functioning of the product and that any damage direct or otherwise that is caused by any flaws in the system are not their problem; they're yours. Furthermore if Microsoft or any other company got sued every time a piece of software got cracked and harm ensued (forgive the pun), we would have precious few pieces of software and even few companies.
