I used Sandboxie on XP to run questionable programs that might contain a virus. It is a lot easier than loading VMware etc. to create a sandbox. I bought Windows 7 which has "Windows Virtual PC" as part of it. Will it actually create a sandbox that goes away with a reboot, so any malware...

I'm looking to go 64-bit with the new Windows 7. However, I have some old games that probably wont like that. Virtualization is the easiest answer it seems. I know what Windows 7 Business has a Windows XP mode. However, Microsoft said that it will not be optimized for 3D applications. Does...
