Operating systems radically re-thought
Recent days have seen another widespread exploit of a Microsoft operating system vulnerability... yet another reason to start paying attention to those people advocating capabilities-based operating systems.

The link is already embedded in the original article (linked on the last 4 words); hope it helps.
I can certainly tell you've not been reading recently: you missed the "Happy birthday to Athena Sakura" I posted on her birthday. :)

I meant a link to something about the exploit. I've not found anything about it myself, I guess I just don't know what to look for.

If you want pure security, then yes this is a good idea, but as with all things, there is a trade off, and I don think that consumers would want that trade off..
