I'll answer the question of what Drive Shield and Deep Freeze are...
My question is why one would WANT something like that for Linux?

DRIVE SHIELD
    * Allow users full access to their systems
    * With a simple reboot any changes to the system vanish
    * Protection is invisible to end users

DEEP FREEZE
Deep Freeze instantly protects and preserves original computer 
configurations. Completely invulnerable to hacking, Deep Freeze 
makes computing environments easier to manage and maintain. 
Each restart eradicates all changes and resets the computer to 
its original state, right down to the last byte.
Protect a single, hundreds, or thousands of computers across a 
distributed LAN, WAN or over the Internet.

Jeremy NOTE:
The question assumes that M$ Window's problems are Linux problems.
Maybe better stated that the question assumes that M$ Window's 
vulnerabilities are Linux vulnerabilities.  File permissions in Linux take
care of most of this.

Maybe you want to get REAL specific as to the implementation and
what you are afraid of happening.  Users the problem or is there some
other fear?  More specific questions get more specific answers.
