This is cool but it's a real crack in the "walled garden"; if anybody can hack the files that "belong" to any app it could be easy to circumvent security, cheat at games, etc.

I did this as well - it was pretty easy to for example modify the prices for towers of the tower defense game "Radiant Defense"

imo: Microsoft could have put more effort in this topic to make it a little bit safer

I'm not sure why this is Microsoft's fault as opposed to the developer's. Exactly the same kind of techniques have been used for years on desktop applications/games.

(and, y'know, you could pay for stuff that you like using, feed a developer's starving family and continue to get updates and improvements rather than ripping them off)
