Here's a suggestion for a community that is base around the claim of a 'secure' OS. Isn't an OS resident in RAM unsecure by default? The very fact that it is physically possible for an OS to be modified merely by software it runs or interacts with makes any claims of being 'secure' more than a little shaky. I guess we could start with a design choice that our 'secure' OS is resident in ROM only and cannot easily be modified by a user with a few software commands. 0x00
