App-V definitely has much more applications than just what I wrote in the post. Definitely some unknowns with Med-V…and I don’t think it is at all intended to be a replacement to App-V…more of a complimentary solution to bridge what App-V isn’t capable of doing.

First time I saw App-V in action was at MMS 2006 I think (memory is a bit fuzzy). This is before Microsoft bought Softgrid. The Softgrid booth had a computer that was simultaneously running Access 97, 2000, and 2003. That was really impressive.

It has these benefits in addition to the streaming/updating benefits you described. And while I don’t know specifically how big a Med-V delivered app will be relative to an App-V delivered app, I think it would be safe to say it will be much larger. As a result, I think Med-V will have value, but as storage is not unlimited, we won’t see wholesale deliver of every app via Med-V in the future.

Softgrid has been renamed to App-V. Microsoft bought Softgrid a while back and rolled it into MDOP. It got to version 4.2 before they dropped the Softgrid name. App-V 4.5 is the first version without the Softgrid name.
