There is a similar concept coming to Windows: http://www.bromium.com/innovations/micro-virtualization.html

From what I've been hearing they seem to already have big customers using it. I wonder if it'll ever be available to individuals and small businesses.

It's pretty cool in that it appears to have some tripwire-esque stuff so that you get useful logs when malware does try to do dodgy things in their sandbox. It sounds like it can alert the user with something like, "your browser might be compromised, start a new session" and everything is captured/saved so that admins can come back later to do forensics with the session that went bad.

Microsoft App-V has been around for 5+ years though it sounds like it would be a Docker to Bromium's Xen.

Sandboxie was one of the original Windows application virtualization options 10 years ago.

I was hoping something would become the 'Docker for Windows' but these programs are being snapped up by software security companies.

Sandboxie is still available, and free for home use (with a small 5 second nag screen to pay).

There was a good presentation from the Chief Security Architect at Bromium from DerbyCon last year: http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/derbycon3/4303-san...

He absolutely tears apart application sandboxes like "Sandboxie".

Might want to check out spoon.net - they are working on containers for Windows. Been doing app virt for a long time. I use them for side by side browser testing : )
