"Though most people don't know it, Microsoft has, not one, but two new operating systems that it is working on. The first, Vista, many people have heard of. Currently scheduled to ship just after the second coming of Christ, Vista has garnered most of the spotlight. However there is another OS lurking in the basement in Redmond and its name is Singularity (.pdf). So what does Singularity look like? A joke, at least at first glance. But taking a moment to analyze the situation I came up with some interesting observations which I will now share with you."

Go check out what the EROS/CapROS/Coyotos people have and you'll see how security is done The Right Way(tm).
Ok, show me a computer running Coyotos. My laptop runs Fedora Core Linux. It's working now, well, today. Can you get Coyotos to boot? Run a program?
If by "secure" you mean "not even the owner can get it to do anything", Coyotos is indeed something remarkable. Otherwise, it's a research project that never made it to anything even remotely viable.
