. . . and quite frankly predates M$ windows by quite a few years.
If anything, it's a freakish inheritance from VAX/VMS; and derives
from a set of (mostly US) grubberment (particularly "defense") security
standards. (I don't remember exactly which, and am too lazy to look
it up, right now--maybe later.)
What you describe, McNutcase, isn't their security model, so much
as their support model for security problems; and you're right, it is
**SERIOUSLY** flawed; but it's a business model, not a technical
model.
So consider me in violent agreement, with qualifications.
