Application Virtualization: What’s new in App-V 4.6
Friday, 21 May 2010 11:00 AM Australia (East)
Speaker – Jeff Alexander

Event Overview
The challenge many of us face today is the rigid coupling of applications to the standard operating environment or the machine and operating system. This leads to a number of issues including incompatibility between two applications installed on the same OS instance. Microsoft Application Virtualization addresses these issues de-coupling as applications from the physical environment and enabling them to be virtualized and streamed to the client.  In this session we’ll talk about the new version of Application Virtualization; App-V 4.6.  We’ll discuss the changes in this new version, including how it works better with Windows 7 and Office 2010.

Demonstrations in this Session
