"The Spoon kernel is a lightweight implementation of core operating system APIs, including the filesystem, registry, process, and threading subsystems, completely implemented within the user-mode space, allowing Spoon apps to be executed without any device driver installation or administrative privileges." Two thoughts: 1. Wow, I cannot imagine how much work it would be to fake all the necessary Windows APIs for this…

#12I want to know how much Spoon Studio costs so I click the buy button and it wants me to register and login? I clicked around a little more but I couldn't find the cost. Unfortunately it doesn't work on my Mac either, on my Windows machine though it was really cool to see IE6 pop up!
The plugin is free, however.

Isn't this what Google was looking to do with their Chrome Frame for IE? Sounds like an acquisition may be in order.

#16Ah, yup, it used to be http://www.xenocode.com/browsers/
http://google.com/search?strip=1&q=cache:xenocode.com%2F...
They had firefox virtualized in 2007 http://web.archive.org/web/20070810063157/http://www.xenocod...
I'm curious if they are technically allowed to distribute IE though.
I still have the old versions saved that did not need any of their "library" installed which leads me to believe that this new approach is just a control mechanism to make you visit their site.
It's a shame their IE9 doesn't work on XP though, that would be a real coup.
