I read about Sandboxie a few days ago and figured I'd try it later. Well later just arrived - I wanted to wathc the Olympics online, but you have to have M$ Silverlight 
. I trust M$ as far as I can throw them when it comes to installing spyware (excuse me, "innovative software" 
), so I figured I'd try out Sandboxie.
20 minutes later, I've downloaded and installed SB, gone through the manual, and have installed Silverlight in the sandbox. I can go into the browser in the sandox and see Silverlight installed there - and go into the NON-sandboxed browser and see Silverlight ISN'T installed there. And what's more, it works!
This is major-league, heck, World-Series level stuff. Very, VERY cool.
