Kaspersky promises the impossible: A fully secure OS
Quote:
Eugene Kaspersky had something of a Larry Ellison moment this week, making the bold claim that he and his company are doing what no one else has ever even attempted: developing a secure operating system. Not only is the assertion inaccurate (of course companies have attempted to develop secure OSes in the past), but the pledge of delivering a completely secure OS -- even for something as specifically nichey as SCADA systems and ICSes -- borders on irresponsible in that it's all but impossible to keep.

I'm only interested cos I am KIS through and through and am wondering what Microsoft are thinking about this stuff. Though I sort of see it at being aimed at industry but I stand to be corrected!
