More FUD
This is nothing more than FUD to create perceived need to create a demand for an OS that nobody really needs. There are so many holes in the desktop PC that pluging the USB port isn't going to stop it. If you want that kind data security about the only model that will work is the data center dumb terminal. If you can cut and paste, or even read and copy. You can copy sensitive data. I guess we had better remove pens and paper while we are at it.
