Well, virtually speaking, that is exactly what I want... literally
speaking it's a Windows system, networked, with removable disks, that
needs to run untrusted code processing untrusted data. This untrusted
data and the system, network, printer, usb, etc must be immutable. A
read-only compartment that can run arbitrary, dangerous, code, safely.

In other words, a very simple and restrictive, operating system level
virtualization tool for Windows, that can be initiated by unprivileged
users.

cheers,
