Proividing a superior level of security management is another area that
could greatly differentiate AdaOS from other systems. This would help create
a niche in which it could gain acceptance and gradually find applications
getting ported to it. That overcomes a lot because its obvious that any new
OS has to play "Catch Up" with the others in terms of getting apps ported to
it. Here, you'd be able to say "Well, maybe we don't have the latest version
of Space Invaders or Auto-CAD running on AdaOS, but we've got at least the
common Office tools and if you need security around your documents, this is
the way to go..."
