Sample Applications, Software Virtualization Solution

Firefox 3 ("the best yet") is here, to much fanfare. With over 8 million downloads in the first 24 hrs., Firefox 3 is "faster, safer and smarter than before". Mozilla claims over 15,000 enhancements or fixes in this release. Get details on the most interesting improvements in the Release Notes. For a complete list of Firefox 3.0 features, see the Product Requirements Document.

Testing cutting-edge applications doesn't involve the risk it used to. With SVS you can install an app, like this release candidate of the next version of Firefox, as a layer that can peacefully co-exist with your other apps. You can hammer on the new release, see what it has to offer, and when you're done you can remove the layer and your machine will be clean.

Take a look at these sites that host nothing but (legally) virtualized applications ready to be downloaded and activated. One in English, one in Dutch, and now one in German as well!

Your mileage may vary, but according to the tech editors at CNET News.com, "Firefox 2 still rules the browser roost for now, despite a much improved version of Internet Explorer."

With SVS, you can decide for yourself. Import the Firefox VSA, activate it and take it for a test drive. When you're done, click deactivate. Software evaluation has never been easier.

Anyone who has worked as a professional Web designer or developer will swear by having a test server on a machine for checking scripts, browser compatibility, and general site flow. SVS not only makes a development environment like this possible, it adds a level of coolness your LAMP buddies can only imagine.

Download the latest version of the popular Firefox Web browser (as a VSA, of course). This version includes product stability improvements and security updates.
