One of the most compelling technologies to come down the pipe from Microsoft is Application Virtualization formerly known as SoftGrid.
One of the main holdbacks for us and the product was that applications that needed to interact had to be 'bubbled' together. Since most of our major laptops apps interact with each other and Office and Adobe, this posed a big problem. Who wants to roll all of that into one bubble?
Well, word came down in a meeting I was at on Monday with the fine folks at Microsoft that in the next version of App Virtualization you will be able to create a seperate 'bubble' for each app, and that these 'bubbles' will interact with each other.
To which I said : "Cool."
This is a big win for them. It lifts a large barrier to adoption of this product. I've been trying to find time to lab this up, but not having much luck so far. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can re-enable my SCCM / SCOM labs for further study and play time.
