    You're forgetting a major part. The only reason the enterprise devices can do it is because those enterprises have rolled out a trusted cert to their clients that allow the edge devices to create on the fly certificates that make the client device think they have end to end encryption.

    Now.. of course.. if the NSA has a CA in their back pocket (and why wouldn't we think they do) or are a covert CA themselves (hell anyone can be a CA these days), then life is a bit easier for a man in the middle type attack. But you'd still have divert the traffic to your own servers that are using the 'fake' cert for the website in question, which would then act as a proxy for the real site (exactly like the enterprise systems).

    This problem can be mostly solved by CA stapling. CA stapling can be seen here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCSP_stapling

    Of course to really make this all work much more securely we need secure DNS, and I'm not sure how much longer that's going to take, if we ever get it.

    Yup. Both internal and clients are basically completely virtual and generally on VMware.

    I agree. Good for both parties. Oracle brings a lot of very large enterprise customers to the table for OpenStack.

    The more I see this the more it seems like some kids just forking FreeBSD to say that they did it and not for any actual purpose.

    I guess. And hipsters of course, just to act like kids. But you can have the stickers when you get home as it is. Carrying that thing and making stickers on the fly is pretty silly.

    Microsoft made Windows 8 on ARM. Released it and already killed it off. So they have it working for a server but I don't see it as likely. Microsoft's history is full of failed attempts at second processor Architexture options. Remember NT4 on DEC Alpha and 2003 on Itanium IA64? Those didn't last.

    Investing in Windows on ARM would be foolish given their track record.

    @JaredBusch There are plans (maybe not through the Health Exchanges). My high deductible plan plan is a LOT higher than yours $5250 for single, and $10500 for family, but it is a 100% (of covered items) after I meet my deductible. There are no copays either, I pay 100% of the high deductible first, after that the insurance company pays the rest. The insurance cost for me (total) through my company is $3081.50, of which I have to pay $523.80.
