That is just essentially a flash drive with linux on it. Nothing to see here, move along. Also their prices are insane.

“The OS is just a platform for the COS. The device contains loads and loads
of software that Linux CDs don’t have. Plus you get much better security and don’t have to carry around that big CD. Also, you’d need a much bigger storage capacity for those Linux CD distributions, at least 1Gig minimum. The complete software footprint of the COS is only 256MB.

Uhh people have been putting linux on flashdrives for years. Im not talking about live CDs, Security is all in the hands of the users. Linux can be secure, or insecure, the method of delivery has nothing to do with it ;)
