As a long time user of Sandboxie, I'm excited to see this announcement and am looking forward to the open source release and what the community might be able to do with it.

Sandboxie's technology works extremely well for securely isolating all kinds of interactive Windows GUI apps, and might thus be be an interesting alternative to Microsoft's own Windows Container technology which is more focussed on servers and can't really do GUI's.

I'd love to see some experiments using Sandboxie sandboxes as Docker-style images/containers. Packaging a complete GUI app including dependencies and making it easy to run on another Windows machine without polluting it, without noticeable overhead, neatly integrating like you'd expect of a Windows app with things like window management or the clipboard, and all that while being securely isolated from the rest of the machine.

In high school I used VMWare ThinApp to portably run windows applications without admin privileges, I think it worked in a similar way.

I miss ThinApp for making portable apps
