Virtualization layer! That's something I would not have thought of first. Despite the fact that windows security was on my mind when I started reading that article. Virtualizatin is a hefty technology chunk to bite of for a small team, very impressive. Best of luck to the BaseShield dudes and dudettes.
We'd like to especially encourage any news.yc readers who write windows apps to distribute them via BaseShield. Just get in touch with me at my personal email: pat (at) baseshield.com -- if you want to list it for free we'll get it up right away, if you'd like to charge you'll be at the top of the list once we get payments going.
Thanks!
I read the description, and though - that sounds pretty cool. But trying it sucks: 1. I don't know what these 'apps' are. Only baseshield apps or any applications at all? 2. I'm using Mac OS X. It offered me a .exe. Tell us that on your homepage 3. Surely you can spend a bit of money to get some proper icons and not use icons that hundreds of people are already using 4. Give me some sort of idea what apps are in ther…
Thanks for your comments! (I'm one of the founders) It works for application packages that are in the repository. Right now we have a collection of free software but we want to encourage developers to sign up and offer their apps through the store. We'll make the whole repository browseable soon so you can see what's in the store right away. We're also working on improving the design.
Wow, that's actually a really good idea. I always assume there can be no innovation left for the desktop. I've got to stop thinking that.
Algorithm for determining if there's innovation left for X. Ask yourself these questions: 1) Are there lots of people who really want to use X? 2) Is there something that sucks about X? Your answer is the AND of these two.
An interesting alternative idea might be to create a cross-platform "app store" written in AIR that delivers cross-platform AIR apps.

Some of our apps could be a bit lower-level (services, kernel-mode drivers, etc). Does BaseShield allow those? I know most system virtualization platforms cannot handle those without a full virtualized OS.
