So do you think it can run an application exe from within the browser,
essentially isolating that process? IE: notepad.exe for example.

If so then this could be useful, though oddly achieved, ie: via a
browser interface that is, rather than right clicking an exe in the
explorer interface and saying "Run sandboxed".
