Polish company has released an open-source desktop operating system that uses sandboxing. Qubes 1.0, released Tuesday, uses lightweight Xen virtual machines as isolated domains. The architecture enables IT staff and other users to set security policies for each domain. CEO: Qubes OS is safer than other desktop operating systems because it allows users to build walls around each part of their digital life. Sandboxing also places more demand on computing resources to run applications, expert says. A Java exploit on a Firefox browser would work just as well in a Qubes domain as on any other OS.”]
