Whether it’s a program you found on the Internet or something that came in your email, running executable files has always been risky. Testing software in clean systems requires virtual machine (VM) software and a separate Windows license to run inside the VM. Microsoft is about to solve that problem with Windows Sandbox.

how does that help? If you run windows, try out soem software, and it infects your windows system massively, then you have to reinstall windows- you linux system will be fine, but still, you hasve to reinstall your windows system- if however you try out software in a sandbox on windows, and a virus hits, you simply delete the sandbox environment, and your windows os is still fine- no reinstall needed
If the SCOTUS or the Congress had any cajones, they’d break up these virtual monopolies. I hate them all. MS, Google, Amazon, you name it. Not to mention the MSM!
So shameful and cowardice!
Win 8 was the worst! Such a lazy monopoly!
What kind of company produces a worse product that its predecessor? Microsoft, of course.
Well, THAT is NOT gonna happen.
Yes, that is why I run Linux. Microsoft sucks. Though I do have Windows 7 on alternate boot. I didn’t realize how hard it is to install windows 7 now a days without a CD drive. It was nuts.
Same here, and I probably forever will, even when the support stops. I have no desire to use 8, 8.1 or 10.

As I said in my previous post, Microsoft is a huge corporation where one hand often does not know what the other hand is doing. The leadership of Microsoft under Satya Nadella feels disharmonious as compared to generations past. This is at least partially because he appears to be a closet conservative in an industry where flaming liberals rule the roost. But Microsoft has a long history and tradition of hostility, infighting, and backstabbing at the leadership level.
