Gone is the “Quick Launch” bar, but now we have “ Jump Lists”. Windows 7 has changed the way the Task Bar works. Sometimes this might not work on an app when you test it in the worst case, all I have had to do is open up the package in the new 4.6 sequencer and save it again to make it work. For a large part, existing 32-bit applications sequenced (the process of preparing a virtualized application) with App-V 4.5 will run with a small tweak to an xml file to inform the client that it is OK to run the app on this OS version. Virtualized applications may be either 32bit or 64bit applications. This includes the 圆4 versions of Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. With many of the reasons holding back 圆4 deployment at the desktop now gone – primarily driver issues – we are seeing more people deploying 圆4 operating systems at the desktop.Īpp-V 4.6 adds support for the 圆4 operating system clients. So while going to the 圆4 OS uses a little more memory, the gain is larger. Running the 32-bit limits you to effective use of roughly only the first 3GB. With so many physical desktops and notebook computers shipping with 4GB of ram, it makes sense to run the 圆4 version of the operating system. Of course, I need to mention that App-V for the desktop operating systems is only available through the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) which is an option for desktops licensed from Microsoft via Software Assurance. In this article, I will discuss each of what I feel are the most important new things for the desktop, mostly focusing on Windows 7 desktops, but also hitting items of interest to other App-V deployments. While App-V may also be important for the desktop as 64-bit desktop becomes a reality in the enterprise, there is much else new to talk about – especially for Windows 7. While many of us have been waiting on the release of App-V 4.6 so that we could upgrade our Terminal Servers to WS2008 R2 to take advantage of 64-bit (see my blog article on 4.6/TS ) it’s not the only reason that this release of App-V is important to customers. App-V 4.6 delivers big integration benefits with Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and more
