No other desktop apps are commonly sandboxed, so that's a minor issue, if an issue at all.

- justincormack 13y agoIf they aren't sandboxes you don't need the vulnerability. Then the only question is if you can run untrusted code. Which is going to depend on the application.
- jtheory 13y agoIf you're downloading an application and running it, it's pretty much immaterial whether it's Java-based or not; there's no vulnerability required to trash your computer at that point. Sandboxes only apply in the browser, as far as I can think of -- Java code all executes in the context of a security manager, but does anyone actually set a custom security manager for running untrusted Java applications? (Maybe I'm just missing an example you know of...)
