Safe to play in the Sandbox(ie)?

Here's a way you can continue using Windows XP and be safe!

Run everything (your browser, downloaded games, videos, etc.) inside a "sandbox" on your machine!

I use Sandboxie, a long-time, well-known program (free version available) that sets up a "safe zone" on my computer so I can safely use programs or download things, or surf... and no "bad guys" can get in or out.

I have had it for a while.. but it was not until I read this article that I really got the hang of it!
