I'm sure the question is "How do I know if the software I want to run will work on the milestone, since we can't hack our bootloader?"
For example, I'd like to be able to run the Cisco VPN app that's available on the market. But the app mentions needing a custom rom, and since I can't run a custom rom...
That said, I'm thinking by unlocking Super User access, it may be distinctly possible to run the VPN code I'd like... it will probably require some testing, etc... but it seems like it should be possible. Will need help, and unfortunately the most posts about Milestone root access are on AllDroid.org, where I STILL haven't been able to create an account to POST with, only to login. I never get the e-mail to activate the account and post.
Any VPN assistance for my milestone would be GREATLY appreciated... and might convince me to go ahead and root my Milestone.
