The most flexible sandbox around just got a bit more powerful. Today we're announcing native windows support for our sandboxes.

While we have supported running windows hosts as part of our sandboxes for a while, they required a stepping stone to connect to them. As of today that is no longer needed. We have added feature parity for Windows based virtual machines with our Linux-based hosts.

With this release you can now:

• Use PowerShell to write lifecycle scripts
  You can now create PowerShell-based lifecycle scripts that run directly on the Windows VM. This allows you to integrate better with the Windows ecosystem, and allows for easier ways to set up and check sandbox environments.
• Run PowerShell based terminals
  Terminal tabs now also support Windows hosts. Give your users access to an interactive PowerShell session on their Windows VMs.
• Use our built-in file editor
  We've also updated our built-in file editor to supports Windows-based filesystems. The editor gives your users an easy way to view and edit to text-based files, like log or configuration files.
