Why can't 64-bit OSs get rootkits?

@plop5555:
They can. It's just that MS' 64-bit OSes *require* all kernel modules and drivers to be signed. That means rootkits can't load because Windows won't find a valid, trusted signature. This restriction can be overriden by the end user, but this has to be done on every boot up via F8 and there's no other way to do it...
MS won't do this to 32-bit OSes as it would cause too many issues since loads of 32-bit DRM needs to load kernel modules...
