Sandboxie - Version Changes

No new enhanced support for x64 based machines? I was hoping that they would make gains on that. Thanks for the info though!

Enhanced support, do you mean protection? Sandboxie - Experimental Protection.

 

[DBone]

Yes, but I was hoping the "experimental" tag would be removed!

 

[FranzB]

On the W7 Compatibility Center there is a green checkmark V which states clearly that Sandboxie is compatible with 64-bit. Nothing about it being in an experimental state. ???????????

 

[Phone Man]

This is why Sandboxie tags it as experimental. It works now but changes in Windows may break it.

However, because it uses kernel interfaces which are not completely documented and official, the feature is tagged as experimental. There is a small chance that a future update to the Windows kernel could render the feature inoperable and might even cause system crashes.
