Turbo.net, the official website of Turbo, hosts applications that can be launched via the web with no installation. Turbo’s application library includes popular software like Chrome, Skype, VLC Media Player, SketchUp, and hundreds of other top free and open-source applications. Turbo works through a small browser plugin with no administrative privileges or drivers required. The introduction of Turbo, which combines
Selenium, transfers the Turbo Virtual Machine (SVM) as a lightweight implementation of core operating system APIs, including the filesystem, registry, process, and threading subsystems. they're within the Windows user-mode space. Applications executing within the Turbo virtual environment interact with a virtualized filesystem, registry, and process environment, rather than directly with the host device operating system. The virtualization engine handles requests within the virtualized environment internally or, when appropriate, routes requests to the host device filesystem and registry, possibly redirecting or overriding requests as determined by the virtual application configuration.
Cross-browser testing - Browser Sandbox Turbo.net hosts browsersandbox.com, which allows users to run multiple versions of browsers such as
Internet Explorer,
Google Chrome,
Mozilla Firefox,
Opera, and
mobile browsers on a single machine. Web developers can use Browser Sandbox for
cross-browser testing to ensure websites function correctly in multiple versions of popular browsers. Virtualized browsers behave exactly like installed browsers, and because they run locally, web applications tests can be hosted on the user’s own development machine or on internal servers. Turbo.net supports standard browser components like Java applets and ActiveX controls as well as popular browser plugins like Firebug, IE Developer Toolbar, and CSS and JavaScript debugging consoles.
App Library Similar to their Browser Sandbox, Turbo hosts an extensive application library filled with hundreds of free and
open-source applications that Turbo streams to end users. The app library is part of Turbo’s free basic account and lets anyone stream and use full desktop applications like
Skype,
Google Chrome,
VLC media player,
Sublime Text,
Notepad++, and
GIMP without installing them. Turbo
virtual applications do not need to be accessed through a browser. Users with Turbo’s plugin can press [Alt+Win] to bring up the Spoon Console, which acts as an alternate
Start menu that can launch both local and virtualized applications and files. They claim that running these applications in
virtual sandboxes is faster, safer, and more portable than installing them locally. ==Software==
