You know me, I don't like to complain

Google secures GreenBorder in quiet buy:

“GreenBorder Technologies, Inc. has been acquired by Google, Inc.,” the statement said. “We will continue to support our existing customers through the end of their current subscriptions.”

I wrote a little bit about the sandboxing applications out there for Windows hosts, and today Google wrapped their multi-colored hands around GreenBorder, which does similar things.

It is all part of Google being a web-based application platform. If you can’t trust the browser and you can’t trust the underlying host, you need to find a way to sanitize it and protect it. Google wants to do it without worrying about the desktop OS, and I think it is just as well. Not even Microsoft themselves can manage to do that.
