Windows Sandbox is a new lightweight desktop environment tailored for safely running applications in isolation.
How many times have you downloaded an executable file, but were afraid to run it?...

Here's a question for the Windows Sandbox people. I assume that this will be the same as a virtual machine and when the hosting window closes, anything added through that UI interface will be removed? I will be installing test versions of my software packages (full .msi installs). When I close the sandbox window, will the installed software be removed, as if it was not there before I opened the sandbox window?
For example, if I were to install Visual Studio in the sandbox window (assuming that I did not have it installed before opening the window), when I close the sandbox window, will the installed Visual Studio and all of its files, registry entries, and connections disappear, as if they never existed?
Thanks to you all for getting this up and running.
