Has anyone used this app? It seem to be something like a virtual machine app.

It is similar to a VM and doesn't keep any settings when you exit it, good to try programs, just copy and paste them into the sandbox

That's actually a good thing, and your right, it would be great to try new programs.

Same here John, I used to use VirtualBox until I upgraded to Win pro, I think it is a great program and use it a lot. This machine is full of tweaks and changes so at least when I use Sandbox it is always a fresh clean start
