    I'm mostly excited to have the government out of it. Too much public money shot into space.

    The Samsung Chromenbook 2 uses an octocore ARM. Should be pretty sweet.

    You're forgetting a major part. The only reason the enterprise devices can do it is because those enterprises have rolled out a trusted cert to their clients that allow the edge devices to create on the fly certificates that make the client device think they have end to end encryption.

    Now.. of course.. if the NSA has a CA in their back pocket (and why wouldn't we think they do) or are a covert CA themselves (hell anyone can be a CA these days), then life is a bit easier for a man in the middle type attack. But you'd still have divert the traffic to your own servers that are using the 'fake' cert for the website in question, which would then act as a proxy for the real site (exactly like the enterprise systems).

    This problem can be mostly solved by CA stapling. CA stapling can be seen here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCSP_stapling

    Of course to really make this all work much more securely we need secure DNS, and I'm not sure how much longer that's going to take, if we ever get it.

    Yup. Both internal and clients are basically completely virtual and generally on VMware.

    I agree. Good for both parties. Oracle brings a lot of very large enterprise customers to the table for OpenStack.

    The more I see this the more it seems like some kids just forking FreeBSD to say that they did it and not for any actual purpose.
