There is one general name service that covers Files, Devices, even System calls. Thus there is one general protection mechanism that covers them all, etc. A very clean effect. [Of course their Ads are still filled with Vapourware and Marketing's idea of benchmarks, but they are a fairly new company so I can expect them to even behave up to DEC's standards.(;-))]
