The Minecraft for EverQuest Next.

I was invited to the closed beta in 2014-06-15. I tried it for maybe 45 minutes before throwing my hands up in complete disgust.

I have no interest in this now that EverQuest Next has been aborted.

A steady state-type program. Discards unwanted user changes at log off or reboot and has easy application-blocking.

I was exploring security on Windows XP and wanted a state-freezing system, so I can make dangerous changes and easily roll back.
