Imagine a secure system using only proprietary OS and sofware,
completely
different from the "standart" thing that's everywhere...
For an unauthorized decker get into it, he would have to acquire a
deck
and programs built to be compatible with the proprietary system, and
such things
are quite hard to come by... This can lead to one or two runs only to
take a look
inside that system :) ...
