[Pc_Support] Windows and application sandboxes?

[Jason Boxman]

While packing for my move to Tampa, I was dumping Linux from my laptop since I 
never use it and fixing the MBR so it would boot straight up into Windows.  
While waiting for the recovery console to appear, a thought occurred to me:  
Why can't Windows offer some kind of security sandbox for legacy 
applications, so for example in Windows Vista, legacy apps -- including 
Microsofts own apps that don't work properly unless run as Adminstrator -- 
can be 'safely' run in a sandbox?  I mean, it works for wine and winelib on 
Linux on x86, why not for WoW?

(Note: I rarely use Windows in any capacity, so I might be missing something 
obvious.)
