"Joanna Rutkowska, CEO of Invisible Things Lab, today released version
1.0 of Qubes, a stable and reasonably secure desktop OS. It is the
most secure option among the existing desktop operating systems — even
more secure than Apple's iOS, which puts each application into its own
sandbox and does not count on the user to make security decisions.
Qubes will offer users the option of using disposable virtual machines
for executing tasks they believe could harm their computer. These VMs
will be lightweight, easily and extremely speedily created and booted,
and would be just as easy to discard."
