SafeSpace discontinued

An announcement about the freeware sandbox Safespace

"To all SafeSpace users.

As you may be aware, Artificial Dynamics is a subsidiary company of the AppSense Group Inc.
Artificial Dynamics consisted of a small team of developers who created the virtualization engine which made SafeSpace possible.
In April, the technologies used in SafeSpace were re-acquired by AppSense Ltd and Artificial Dynamics has since been disbanded. As a result, we have only been able to offer limited support to end users.

Version 2.0.41.0 was our last official release. Limited support will still be available via the Artificial Dynamics support forums, and SafeSpace will continue to be hosted on Download.com – free for personal use.

Our patented virtualization technology is now being utilized within AppSense user environment management solutions to enable dynamic personalization of physical and virtual corporate desktops.
If you’d like to know more about these solutions please visit http://www.appsense.com.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who took the time to try SafeSpace. Your feedback helped us develop a great security product which is today being used by several thousand home users.

I will continue to visit these forums regularly and help out with any SafeSpace related topics that occur.

Best regards,

Kris.

Artificial Dynamics."

What a pity, Safespace was one of the most promising up and coming sandboxes. Though not quite popular as sandboxie , for various reasons (it had a nice interface but required more resources particularly NET Framework turned off some users), it was still a very promising product with good anti-keyloggering features.
