[cap-talk] Commercial capability systems?

[Bill Stout]

Thank you for the pointer!  

As far as commercial capability systems, I haven't found that are in
strict compliance since they weren't designed to be marketed as a
capability system.  Even our software layers on top of Windows, which
means that at most it's a utility which adds capability features to
Windows, similar to the Polaris research project.  It ends up creating
two environments, a restricted capability environment, and a native
environment, rather than multiple individual environments.

Note that I work for but do not speak for GreenBorder.

Thanks,
