Greenborder

It looks like a page full of hype. A few freeware products, some of
which most of us run already, can do the same job.

The only freeware product I'm aware of that can be compared to greenborder
is Sandboxie.
 
Then why even bother downloading GreenBorder when it will no longer be
free after 1 year? Guess that classifies it as trialware :-)

That'll do most of it. A credit or debit card that gives you
temporary numbers will do most of the rest. Proxomitron will help.

What does Greenbar have that hasn't already been done? And for free.
Maybe I missed something.

Well you mentioned a "few" freeware products, so I was wondering if you
knew of more.

There are also the Bufferzone range of products http://www.trustware.com/,
but these are limited to application centric versions (versions for
iexplorer, firefox, IM clients, P2P etc), the general Home version is sadly
no longer free.

Of course Greenborder currently supports officially only a very limited
range of apps anyway...

Well the interface is slightly more polished than Sandboxie, a lot of the
features in Sandboxie is actually hidden, you need to edit Sandboxie.ini
using undocumented command switches to get the best out of sandboxie
really.

For example you really should consider editing sandboxie.ini file with
"closefilepath" to block access of sandboxed processes from reading really
private files and directories...

The point is I have read about Greenborder's range of products for some
time now in various press releases and whatnot, and they seem to be among
the first to promote the idea of virtualization before it became common.

But they have acted really slow (at least for the home user market), such
that competitors like BZ, Sandboxie and a few others I won't name have
actually reached the market first.
