Just curious, is there an equivalent (or at least similar in spirit) to FreeBSD jails in the Windows world?

There's Windows Containers[0], which are analogous to Docker containers. They can either be run shared-kernel or in a Hyper-V container. Also Virtualization-based security[1], which is supposed to be completely transparent so it's not really a developer or deployment tool.

There used to be Virtuozzo containers for Windows and looks like they are bringing it back as a technical preview:

There’s Sandboxie, which works decently, but does have some compatibility issues: https://sandboxie-plus.com/

Windows 10 kernel supports “Sandbox”, which might be what comes closest.

Do you mean the graphical Windows Sandbox tool? Can it also be used headless to run a service for example? That would come pretty close.
