While it would not help the older MS OS's, I wonder if MS will exploit the abiility to run as other users to develop a sandbox. All stuff in this folder is run as nobody. Can only write to that folder, can only run. Can't connect.

MS hasn't even gotten multiple users working in a reasonable way (see recent security alerts about MSIE contexts or something); I'm not really holding my breath waiting for them to add EROS-style native sandboxing.
