NGWS Runtime Security Specification
Synopsis: Isolated storage is the new model for applications to handle persistent data. Developers can now access data in an platform-independent way such as, “the current_orders file for this application for the current user”, without having to concoct an ad hoc path in a file system such as “C:\app13\JoeUser\current_orders”. Such file system paths are awkward to handle in deployment across a wide range of systems including administration of the data and access rights associated with these applications: by providing an identity-based storage abstraction, isolated storage handles these problems in a generalized way for all developers to take advantage of.
