Does DEP work in OptOut mode?

Apps that should be killed by DEP don't get killed when it's in OptOut mode.

Reproduce with the following method:

1. Set DEP to OptOut
i) Open a command prompt as Administrator, and type the following
command:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptOut
2. Reboot
3. Load up MSN Messenger 7 (v7.5.0324 to be precise)
4. Load a Java or Shockwave app in IE.

MSN/IE work. Now force DEP on:

1. Set DEP to AlwaysOn
i) Open a command prompt as Administrator, and type the following
command:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn
2. Reboot
3. Load up MSN Messenger - it's DEP'd
4. Load a Java or Shockwave app in IE - it's DEP'd

In OptOut mode IE and MSN Messenger should get killed by DEP. I can't believe
they actually OptOut!
