"Once a user has logged on to their computer, they are presented with two
operating zones.

Zone 1 has been configured for virus-free email and Internet surfing, allowing
users to download emails and attachments and to access any website without
accidentally downloading a virus or spyware.

Zone 2 uses a normal Windows interface and has been set up for software
programs that require either no Internet access, or only limited access to
download file updates and information.  It also contains a robust filtering
system for children that prevents them from accessing inappropriate online
content."

They've re-implemented the Biba model.

I can guarantee that their biggest holes will be at the junction of the
zones - how do you download a Word document from a friend and then open
it in {,Open}Office? "No read down" is gonna be a bitch. ;)
