That was useful, but most of the actual work — picking the right isolation knobs, pre-staging tools etc. — was left to you. Been a while since I&rsquo;ve worked on it, but after recent moving my personal workflows over to macOS, I&rsquo;ve decided to revisit this (hard to admit, but I sometimes miss Windows and it&rsquo;s weirdness, so I keep it on my old ThinkPad), see which capabilities of Windows Sandbox have changed and whatnot. RedSand has grown into a small toolkit around that one idea: opinionated profiles for distinct workflows, helper scripts that do the boring parts, and CI that catches drift before users do.</p>
