Other than for app launch shortcuts, which should only be provided by the O/S, what are the legitimate uses of things like Windows keyboard hooks? It seems to me that we only have problems with things like key loggers because operating systems provide hooks to do things that should not be permitted by anyone under any condition except the O/S kernel itself.
EDIT: OK, so given some legitimate places where they may be required, should not the O/S provide a high level ability to globally turn them off, and only allow exceptions on a program-by-program basis?
Not true, there are environments where the owner of the computer may want to stop things such as Ctrl+Alt+Delete… example, a Kiosk, or… …. Best Buy?
