Well, not redpill; it does require root though.
In short, if your Mom had a N800 and wanted to rotate her screen and only had Windows, what would you do? If an N800 still requires you to be tech support and hold her hand, or for her to send her device to you to do and send back, it's not there yet and that's not a real answer.

Any help? Any ideas? Care to be a god in many Windows users' eyes and write a step-by-step for the Windows folken?
I'm unaware of any way to flash kernel-only from Windows, so it'll be on-device or from a linux boot disk (floppy, USB, or CD).

For on-device, I don't see what's so hard; you have to install one of becomeroot or easyroot; that's done in the package manager. Then you do a series of commands in xterm. (No need to understand why it works, you just type these things.) Then reboot, and you're done.

What's wrong with that?
