I was on a webinar with Goldman Sachs last week and their most technically astute analysts were talking about the future of virtualization in relation to Public and Private Clouds as well as the ability to deliver next generation applications using Web 2.0 technology.  I posed the question to them, “What about the tens of thousands of applications that have been written in Windows that either can’t or won’t make the transition to ‘webification’” (a cool term I dreamed up at the spur of the moment!).  The answer was predictable but unfortunately had been left out of the entire discussion until I brought it up.  The analyst responded, “Whoever figures out how to get those [Windows] apps into a SaaS model has a huge opportunity in the market today.”  Read th rest at source here http://community.citrix.com/blogs/group/xenapp

Here are the prerequisite instructions on how to make a ThinApp application. They will cover the basics for creating the package and are “as is” and contain nothing in relation to capturing any specific package. This is so you have an overview of what basic items and steps are needed in order to properly create and build ThinApp packages.Read the full article at source here 

We’ve been listening to customers who want to see us support Windows 7 early so they can move ahead with their application testing in preparation for their enterprise deployments. Today, we are pleased to announce the immediate availability of App-V 4.5 CU1 for the Windows 7 Beta. 

As you know, we have a high bar for application compatibility between Windows Vista and Windows 7, so you might be wondering why we need an update of App-V specific to Windows 7. Application virtualization is in a small class of applications that have very deep interactions specific to a Windows release – in App-V’s case it is redirecting the registry, file-system and component calls. So as we update Windows, we will continue to require new versions of App-V. 

All subscribers of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) can register to download the update from Microsoft Connect and get ahead on their Windows 7 planning right now.   Through MDOP, our goal is to continuously offer technology and updates to our enterprise customers. When Windows 7 releases, we are committed to supporting the final product within 90 days of general availability. App-V 4.5 CU1 also contains a small number of improvements such as instant access or removal of applications assigned to end users.
