On Friday, new reports emerged in the local press that Iran also intends to roll out its own computer operating system in coming months to replace Microsoft Corp.'s Windows.

Yeah, I'm sure that'll work out well. Iran has always been known as a hot-bed of bleeding-edge secure operating system design, right? And SecureBSD folks will be happy to pitch in to help build an OS that kills free speech dead.

Well, North Korea created its own Linux, so perhaps it's natural that Iran would have its own BSD... http://rt.com/news/north-korea-cyber-weapon/
Named... ISD.
What? Unix is not bleeding edge dude. Iran can fork one of the free OSes. Anyway writing an OS is not like doing nuclear science.

"Kills free speech dead." Something like the West that kills people dead.
