RE: Longhorn security gets its teeth kicked out

Instead of shielding individual applications, the technology would create secure compartments for elements such as the operating system, computing tasks and administration and management.
Although initially intended to ship as part of Longhorn, the secure compartments have now been pulled from the platform and will be released later.
Microsoft has kept quiet about the changes in the program. The company cancelled a session at WinHEC about technology titled How to build NGSCB-enabled systems, replacing it with a session called How to build in support for secure startup.``

In regard to the above....one can go back and find posts of mine of the patented IP segment structure and novel methods to traverse.....utilizing that segment structure and spreading it out over many points....creating separate sub sets of the structure...initially controlled by an OS for Inode tables or index tables....then passed off to the the controlling entity of the patented IP segment structure....
For an HDD you might want to organize at more than a linear structure even though this system can directory/sub directory and secure those elements...this is where the Inode methodologies of Linux type os come in...by allowing the all inclusive linear abilities of the MOS file to spread out over many points....The Linux system would not have to track an know where every data segment is on the system with mountains of tables and pointers to do so. It ends up being a hybrid of link list and Inode.....it could do the same for index tables such as FAT.
something like this:
If you have a stick..it`s linear..that stick is capable of many attributes...how do I get more out such a capable stick ?
I use 50 of them....how do I organize the 50 sticks ?...I use a Linux type OS Inode table with 50 pointers...allowing me to go to any stick I care to go. The stick is still managed by what ?
The MOS has ability beyond the stick....ie: embedded device management.

However, as a new introduction of teachings in concept for the technology of e.Digital..their technology offerings are not as yet a prevalent force within their established discipline....Care should be exercised in research for investment purposes.
