And (IMHO) a user is smart enough to understand (at least at some level) why having PatchGuard, DEP and so on helps, s/he is certainly smart enough to use CPUZ or even to figure out on her/his own if a given computer has these features.

Time that would have taken to write a tutorial about using CPUZ to identify these features: 1 Hour, time that took to develop Securable (until now): at least 4 weeks. Don’t reinvent the wheel!

CPUz and other utilities are great for us geeks, but (as your post reflected) securable is for the average PC shopper to use. Not trying to be a Gibson apologist, but you pretty much ignored the whole point of Securable.
