This was laughable.

They aren't doing a feature to feature comparison. On might draw the =20
incorrect conclusion that you can't do near as much with SELinux that =20
you can do with the Windows Group policy.

Honestly, because the two OS's are so different, you wouldn't use =20
SELinux to do some of the things they are doing with the Group Policy.

So without direct conversation (written or otherwise) it would be hard =20
for someone who did not have an understanding of these two =20
technologies to do a valid comparison.

If folks are pointing to this as a good comparison, I would call them =20
a charlatan.
