Overview
Microsoft's App-V, formally known as Softgrid, allows for applications to be packaged and streamed to computers over the network.
App-V sandboxes the execution environment so that an application does not make changes directly to the underlying operating system's file system and/or Registry, but rather contained in an application-specific "bubble". App-V applications are also sandboxed from each other, so that different versions of the same application can be run under App-V concurrently, and so that mutually exclusive applications can co-exist on the same system.
Pilot
TTS Support Systems started a pilot of App-V around October 1st. App-V is currently being tested with VDI but it works just as well with physical computers.
