We fundamentally differ from other approaches because I don't think the problem is in developing tools to allow people to fine grain security if they take the time to do it, I think the problem is that nobody has the time to specify fine grained security for the executables on their computers, and our focus is on the filesystem aspects of automating the specification of the fine grained security for an executable. Researchers after us can generalize our approach to things outside the filesystem namespace, or, better, put those things into the filesystem namespace.;-)
