Review: Microsoft's Windows Sandbox

If you were ever wondering if Microsoft is going to have a feature in their operating system (OS) to quickly spin up a VM simply for developing and testing something, then you can find your answer here:

I'm quite interested to see how this practically works especially since many are trying to move into cloud development and leveraging containerization technology instead.

Nevermind. After reading this article, this makes more sense and it is specific to Windows (not for every OS in case you wanted to spin up a sandbox in your Windows VM on Linux).
