Alias "defense-grade OS". EU implementation as ITSEC E6. Main precursor was DoD Orange Book. HP Labs probably had the first alpha of HPUX-10 to OB standard in the mid 90's but (officially) abandoned due to cost. Yes; it's "UX" - "nearly" Unix/Linux. There are versions today but not available commercially. Closest commercial relative - Linux!
This whole security scam is 90% enabled by the continued use of never-ABLE-to-be-secure home computer operating systems. 90% of ALL cyber crime could be eradicated by using commercial-grade OS - ie FREE open-source UX systems. That is a fact that has NOTHING to do with with the lower use of UX but is due to the INHERENTsecurity in UX. Lazy users can't be bothered so they deserve the problems they get. Lazy politicians are so tech illiterate that they put National Security at risk through their ignorance, indolence and hand-in-the-till cow-towing to US manufactured spyware masquerading as an operating system.

As a defense contractor for over 20 years we have understood the necessity of eliminating US components (particularly "home computer" software like MS) from our systems for quite some time. Maybe the penny will start to drop now - you simply CANNOT trust American companies; but that has been the case for a long time.
