Sandboxie - feedback on usage

I am looking for people who  have used Sandboxie - http://www.sandboxie.com/  - and can tell me what they used it for - what worked/didn't work.  I want real world experience as opposed to promotional material from the vendor.  In particular whether anybody has used it for TSR's or to separate two programs that use slightly different versions of a similar database engine.

If you have not used Sandboxie please refrain from answering - I am only interested in Sandboxie field experience - this is not a general question about sandboxing. I say this because I have not posted twice asking a similar question and was responded to by people without any Sandboxie experience.  At this point I only want to hear from Sandboxie people - hopefully there are some out there.

Unless you want to keep installing the two versions every time you close sandboxie then this is not the program for you. what you need is a portable version i.e. using some sort of virtual application to run these two applications. Vmware Thinapp comes immediately to mind that you should be using for this scenario.

Thanks very much for the real world perspective. One question: have you ever used Sandboxie with Terminal Services? Even if not, based on your experience, do you think it would be compatible? What might be the problems if any?
