What makes it different is that most other OSes (except OS X maybe?), including all open source OSes, do NOT have a kill switch. said by Link Logger:Really guys your religion is showing here, try to keep it technical and not religious OK.

Does Android have a kill switch? And for bonus points, have those switches ever been used? What about Apple's GateKeeper? Blake |

Blake Good questions. Guess that you probably know. Please tell us. |

Blake Apple's Gatekeeper is not a remote kill switch. OS X only checks for the existence of a security certificate on first run (which can also be easily bypassed). It does not phone home in any way, nor is there any way for Apple to remotely disable an app. Only iOS and Android have a remote kill switch. And Google has used their kill switch for legitimate purposes. Apple has not used theirs yet. You can see the black listed apps here: » iphone-services.apple.co ··· izedApps |

Comparing mobile OS with (primarily) a desktop os. I'm not sure that Windows 8 is primarily a desktop OS as it is available as both a tablet and phone so I think of Windows 8 as more a mobile OS then a desktop. Blake |

On June 20, 2012, Microsoft unveiled Windows Phone 8, a new generation of the operating system for release later in 2012. Windows Phone 8 will replace its previously Windows CE-based architecture with one based off the Windows NT kernel with many components shared with Windows 8, allowing applications to be easily ported between the two platforms.

Interesting. I worked on a project using WinCE some years ago but I'm sure embedded processors have more horsepower now making this possible. |
