Field notes
The FAQ describes a Windows XP-style desktop backed by a Linux machine, with Task Manager, Command Prompt, and System Properties showing live system data. Copies are described as separate machines booted from snapshots in about two seconds, then opened inside Internet Explorer on the desktop. The boxd agent runs on its own machine and can create, open, remove, and checkpoint copies; the page says it cannot execute commands or read files.
