Include Windows Terminal in Windows Sandbox
Description of the new feature/enhancement
Currently, Windows Sandbox does not come with Windows Terminal, it would be nice to have it installed in there by default.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Huh. I kinda just imagined that Windows Sandbox would use the same build as the host OS, so if you're on Windows 11, the Terminal would be preinstalled there just the same as it is on the host...

I thought the same but it looks like it is super stripped down, can't even install store apps etc.
Windows Sandbox is a completely stripped down image. Hence, Microsoft won't include requests for application X, Y, Z to be included. The problem here is that no Store (Metro) app can be installed in Windows Sandbox (including Terminal). Hopefully, Microsoft will include Store support in a future update as this is quite a big omission, considering that it is Microsoft's own app deployment technology for Windows(!)
