Like SeLinux (which I hope they can integrate with), this would require a complete rethinking of the OS and how it functions. I know that various 'secure' installations would love something like this to help make sure that the remote client is who they are and what they are. [It is not foolproof or a magic bullet in any shape or form.. but it is a possibly good step.]

Personally I dont care for the uses that would limit support and such, but I do want to know that a laptop I sent into the field has a good chance of not being rooted before it VPN's in.
