I ran the effort to build the original version of App-V at Softricity, the company that Microsoft acquired the product from, almost a dozen years ago, and the 5.0 Beta release represents the most dramatic set of changes to the product since. Much has changed in computer technology of that period, and Microsoft very clearly has looked at what is …

Key to Migrating to Windows 7 and Beyond: Virtualize the Apps
