-
Better Security
No setuid hacks
-
Easier programming model
fork(), select(), signal(), mmap()
-
Modular system structure
User-loaded/untrusted 'file systems'
-
Fine-grained access control
No UMGs or `chmod o+r'
-
Confinement and accounting of untrusted/bloatware applications
Netscape, [x]emacs, anything with GNU in it
-
Emulate legacy operating systems (UNIX)
So we can run Netscape, [x]emacs,
anything with GNU in it
