Is there a way to prevent software from accessing hardware IDs?
I think this is related to this question, but I would like to know if there's also a way to prevent "third party" applications from seeing hardware IDs (motherboard, hard disks, and others), or giving them fake values, on real OS, not using a virtual machine. I'm interested here in modern mainstream desktop OSes, (and especially interesting are Windows 7 and Windows 8 for x86-64).
