It seems to me the 'security' of this server is based on secrecy regarding the 'OS'.  Even though they claim it is has 
no OS.  There HAS to be software designed to control the hardware of a specific data-processing system in order to 
allow users and application programs to make use of it.  Therefore by definition this server HAS an OS.  I wouldn't put 
much faith in it lasting very long in the public domain.  One may never be able to take control of the system but I 
would be willing to wager there are dozens of DoS attacks that this system, just like OTHER appliances, are vulnerable 
to.  Maybe someone will find an exploit for SSL tomorrow.  Suddenly their precious server becomes exploitable.
