incidentally, word on the street is the PS4 AIE doesn't provide isolation for 
most MS apps because they cannot isolate signed DLL's??

I absolutely agree with app optimisation software - this stuff works miracles 
and I'm amazed it was never included in the base OS (exc. 2003 adv etc)

For something like this virtualising or isolating the apps is almost
certainly a requirement (see: Softgrid or app isolation environments in
PS4), and performance optimisation software (tscale, armtech, appsense).
