The Bank I used to work for wanted to replace their IBM mainframe running CA-
Datacom/Ideal. After a lengthy process they selected a system that would run
on the HP 3000. Following the presentation announcing this bold move forward
I pointed out to the committee chair that HP had just announced that they were
retiring the 3000. They decided to stick with the Software and run it on a
HP/us platform. When all the boxes arrived there was one small box from HP
and a dozen from Dell. The database would run on an HP and the rest of the
system on a dozen Windows server machines. The Security officer who had
approved the migration was not ammused with the changes.

Most 21st century (even many 20th century) operating systems have
things called user permissions, file system permissions, ACLs and
much more, to just mention a few.
