I suppose not using any apps at all is the only option at this point :-(

  Your desktop/laptop has survived without anally granular sandboxing since the day you started using computers, and you've been using apps from all sorts of places (web browsers, plugins, text editors, games) without serious concern. Yes: you shouldn't install apps from people whom you don't feel some reason to trust, but that's always been the case (and seemingly always will, as no one has so far managed to build a sandbox that a teenager hasn't been able to break out of in a few days; Chrome's sandbox, for example, had two unrelated escapes come to light during the recent Pwnium contest).

    Well I had serious concern for my desktop. Games are on an extra computer, and the OS tends to be Linux (preferred) or OS X (grudgingly). Most people's desktops are in fact completely overrun by malware, too. Just look at your relatives computers the next holiday.

      Those people also tend to get phished, or open email attachments with .exe extensions. If you buy a game from Best Buy and there is malware in it, someone will have some hell to pay. Lumping together "software I buy from people I've heard of" into the same category as "people get lots of malware" is just fear mongering.
