b. What is the status of docker-on-windows? is it stable-but-slow or simply not ready yet ?
c. Why didnt Sandboxie become a multi-million-$ project? It was years ahead of docker, and there is a great need for it on Windows than Linux IMHO.
Sandboxie was a big part of the original technology used by Invincea which was later aquired by Sophos.
If you're asking specifically about Windows containers though, I've never used them (few do, I think).
I wonder if this new incarnation of Sandboxie uses any of them.

They should give other kind of features and apps instead. Never negotiate security, and made it universal, giving more strength to their image.
Think of it, in the end you will be paying to be protected from the insecurity that is only there because of the flaws in their platform.
Its like a mob rising the crime levels on a neighborhood and at the same time asking to be payed to grant you security for the troubles people are only having because they are creating those same troubles in the first place (even if/when indirectly).
I never understood why you would have to pay for security... "Oh look, our software is inherently insecure, but if you pay more, you can get a mitigation." It truly gives no good light on whatever you sell.
