:-) it seems there's a news story every day on HN about a new Linux based OS on the market. I do like this one much better than the North Korean one with the lockdown of user freedoms.

It's not exactly a new "Linux based OS", Joanna is a well known security hacker and so if you think about the reasons them you will see that what she's trying to do is a new security computing model for operating systems based on virtualization, just like Google Chrome was a new model for browser security[1].

Virtualization will be huge in the future, probably we will have common desktop hardware with bare metals hypervisors implemented directly on the hardware in the next 15 years or so, virtualization is already used in datacenters, network appliances and used extensively in the "cloud", how will we use it in the desktop is still open, but I do believe the first application will be running legacy application on modern operating systems and security.

So "legacy" = implemented in the 60's and 70's but became widespread in the 90's. "Modern" = implemented in the 60's and 70's but became widespread after 2010.

upvoted that was a good one.
