The parent claimed that only Linux and Solaris had that certification level, which was false and I cleared that up. They both have the certification level of EAL4+, details may vary though
Parent claimed:
the fact that Linux has achieved the highest security certification level available to commercial OS's - a level only achieved by Sun's Trusted Solaris
Which was shown to be true. The CC system of certification is very complex; and EAL level by itself is not the sole judge of certification level. Thus the details do matter.

...Well, how about the fact that Linux has achieved the highest security certification level available to commercial OS's...

As far as Windows getting certified in September and RHEL 5 being certified in June, RHEL 5 wasn't released until March. XP Was released in 2001 and 2003 was released in 2002. 3 months vs 5 and 3 years is a big difference.
I never compared the dates, I just noted them as it was in the charts.
Obviously Linux got certified faster.
