Spoon Studio
Spoon Studio (formerly Xenocode Virtual Studio) is an application virtualization tool that runs on Microsoft Windows. It packages software applications into portable applications, single executable files that can be run instantly on any Windows computer. It emulates only the operation system features that are necessary for applications to run. Virtualized portable applications run independently from other software, so there are no conflicts (such the DLL hell phenomenon) between them and other programs.
Spoon.net
The official website of Spoon, spoon.net, also hosts virtualized applications including but not limited to productivity tools, games and different versions of famous web browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera. These different versions of web browsers may be used by web developers to test compatibility with older web browsers. The site formerly hosted previous versions of Internet Explorer as well, but removed them on Microsoft's request.[2]
