Anything extra is just a bonus really, and potentially over-kill for the vast majority of personal computers.

Maybe a lesser sandboxie is all that is required to maintain good security.Slightly off topic - I've heard the Chrome browser "sandboxes" adobe flash. Are they using this terminology right? Can an internet browser sandbox in a similar fashion to Sandboxie? Interesting.

Here are my reasons for sticking with Windows XP:1. It's cheaper to stay with XP. I don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to upgrade.2. Windows 7 doesn't offer any extra functionality that I want or need.3. Windows 7 is not significantly faster (in many objective tests, it's actually slower than XP in many categories).4. Windows 7 (talking about 64-bit here, as I wouldn't buy the 32-bit version) will not theoretically be as secure as my Windows XP 32-bit - why? Simply because I use Sandboxie 32-bit (and make use of most of its tremendous protection capabilities) which provides more complete protection than the 64-bit version.However, don't get me wrong, I will eventually move to Windows 7 or Windows 8 when it's released. I just don't see the need for it at this stage. I can do everything I need to do on my current system, and lightning fast too. Hi Carlos. Here are my reasons for sticking with Windows XP:

From Sandboxie's site: "The 64-bit edition of Sandboxie is somewhat disadvantaged in terms of security compared to the 32-bit edition of Sandboxie.The disadvantage is a result of a component present in all versions of 64-bit Windows, called Kernel Patch Protection. While the stated purpose of this component is to enhance system integrity and stability, a side effect of its operation is hindering flexibility and innovation by third-party developers."check out their 64-bit notes here: http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?NotesAbout64BitEdition Mark’s right, unfortunately… From Sandboxie’s site:
