Explanation

Application virtualization (e.g., Microsoft App-V, VMware ThinApp) packages a legacy application with the environment it needs to run and streams or executes it in an isolated virtual layer, independent of the host OS. This allows the legacy app to function without requiring an older OS, keeping the current OS up to date and secure. A system sandbox isolates apps for testing, not for production compatibility. Shared resources and test development environments don't solve the compatibility problem in a production context.
