Has the OS been tightened as Nokia's IPSO? The OS has been hardened; I can't really compare it to IPSO as I've only played with IPSO briefly.

The Compaq solution seems more "open" than the Nokia in that you can use standard PC peripherals (NICs, etc.) as well as add software onto the OS (since it's Linux based.) I found the IPSO somewhat stripped of tools.
