Does it matter what it was designed with? Isn't it more important what is has 
now? 

If the importance is based on primary design, Windows cannot do Internet, 
right? As I remember it wasn't really well supported until Win98.

And please correct me if I am wrong, but i believe that OpenSolaris ( a Unix, 
that is ) has the capabilities-based security model. That is today, of cause 
and not the original design, but that dosen't matter, or what?
