The Sandboxie website now has the following information (thanks to Ralf for the hint):
Since then, I haven't been tracking what happened to Sandboxie, so I didn't realize it was being bought by Sophos. With snapshots I could always reset the guest operating systems to their original state. A short time later the program became fee-based – and since I often ran into issues, I begun using virtual machines for my tests. However, at some point I ran into more and more into a situation where Sandboxie failed or the software could not be installed or used. You could test software and then uninstall it without leaving any traces, files or settings. I myself used Sandboxie under Windows XP for application virtualization.
Sandboxie therefore enables you to test software and later uninstall it from the system without leaving any traces. This prevents unwanted changes from being made to personal data, programs, and applications that are safely stored on the hard drive. Sandboxie's isolation technology separates the installed programs from the underlying operating system. Sandboxie takes control when installing the application and isolates all file and registry accesses and redirects them to separate files. Sandboxie is an application isolation program that allows you to run other software under Windows in a controlled environment.
