Confusing or unclear

This article would benefit from a clearer explanation about what a protection ring is and does. It assumes the reader knows what "one of two or more hierarchical levels or layers of privilege" means and why "rings were among the more revolutionary and visible concepts ..." The whole lead seems to step around defining what a ring is in simple terms, why it is significant, and how it is used. A very concise paragraph addressing some of the basics would be a great improvement to the lead section. JonHarder 13:57, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
