Of course the hard part is catching every single interface to the OS and emulating them all right.<BR/><BR/>Softricity SoftGrid looks like they have most of the capability to do what I want, but have it aimed a different way (for IT management), and it seems like MS bought them recently.cbloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714564834899413045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246987755651065286.post-61771694856920650102008-12-02T20:23:00.000-08:002008-12-02T20:23:00.000-08:00DCOM is also a pain (thought not often used), but ...DCOM is also a pain (thought not often used), but really there are a ton of random little things you'd have to get right.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you should search for Thinstall, Softricity or MojoPac. The company I used to work for depended alot on VMware Player, which probably doesn't appeal to you.<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing you were wishing for Oodle for your computer.won3dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787472194187459747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246987755651065286.post-85614728938955027542008-12-02T13:57:00.000-08:002008-12-02T13:57:00.000-08:00Brian, yeah, it would.

For example I'd probably just put all the Apple shit together in one sandbox since Quicktime and iTunes and such are all evil and they like each other.<BR/><BR/>2. Specifically allow certain portals. For example, you could make the clipboard a portal if you want to. By default sandboxes should hve all portals closed, and from *inside* a sandbox you cannot open portals, but from *outside* you can open any portal. For example, you could switch a flag that says "share the clipboard with the host" , that would make clipboard objects global.cbloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714564834899413045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246987755651065286.post-32685358531031868722008-12-02T13:41:00.000-08:002008-12-02T13:41:00.000-08:00I don't hack on windows, so I don't know the model...I don't hack on windows, so I don't know the model.
