Kaspersky Lab Developing Its Own Operating System? We Confirm the Rumors, and End the Speculation!

First I’ll answer the most obvious question: how will it be possible for KL to create a secure OS if no one at Microsoft, Apple, or the open source community has been able to fully secure their respective operating systems? It’s all quite simple really.

First: our system is highly tailored, developed for solving a specific narrow task, and not intended for playing Half-Life on, editing your vacation videos, or blathering on social media. Second: we’re working on methods of writing software which by design won’t be able to carry out any behind-the-scenes, undeclared activity. This is the important bit: the impossibility of executing third-party code, or of breaking into the system or running unauthorized applications on our OS; and this is both provable and testable.

I read about this yesterday. It's a good for them to do this, Kaspersky is a trusted company and they have the experience in the security field.

Yes it is too good if they do it.

Interesting but i assume its easy for Microsoft to develop a solid security like kaspersky then kaspersky to develop OS like windows

Exactly, that's why it's not an OS like Windows. So Less = More Secure, but as long as they continue following those strict restrictions.
