It looks like that video didn't go over alot of details. To root an evo with stock 2.2 you need to first go back to 2.1, root then back to a rooted 2.2 rom, he didn't just root 2.2 he did the same process as everyone else.

You are not restricted, you are protected, from damaging your own phone by modifying portions of it that shouldn't be, by someone that is not experienced or lacks knowledge. I.E. editing the registry of your windows, one mistake could make you have to reload your windows.. (except on your phone that's not an option) any mistake can render your phone useless and does void your warranty. You can do just about 97% of everything your phone is capable of doing without root access.

That being said, and if you wish to read up on how it's done, follow this; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496

MS does not restrict you from entering the registry. A SysAdmin might but when you buy an OS, it is yours. And you are not violating a warranty when you do.

That is the distinct difference.
