This article sounds like pure and cheap marketing to me. EAL certification has never meant anything to me, except the vendor went through a certification process. Has EAL certification to be renewed every year? Windows has been certified EAL4+ and it has never (and probably will never) been secure. RHEL is also EAL4+ and it also had security problems. Commercial operating systems, as long as its source code is closed for professionals to study it, will never be secure. This new operating system is a commercial one and the Web page of the vendor doesn't look very open source friendly.
