Das obige Argument taugt h�chstens als humoristische Einlage. I don't think it's anymore relevant. The NSA seem to have stated that it was C2 in its default configuration. Which means that nowadays the C2 certification has no value. C2 will not prevent you from being broken into. Solaris is C2 too, and is easily broken into in its default configuration. C2 is just that you have a minimum level of authentification and auditing. Also, don't forget MS-WINDOWS'NT is supposed to be POSIX, although it doesn't implement fork(), ttys, and other POSIX things, and you can't use Win32 or POSIX system calls at the same time. All this summarizes to: computing is one of the domains where most of the talk is advertising, in its standard meaning.
