This document provides an overview of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP), specifically the Application Virtualization (App-V) component. It discusses how App-V allows applications to run without being installed locally, eliminating compatibility issues between different application versions running on the same machine. The document demonstrates how App-V can publish virtualized applications that appear on the desktop like normally installed applications. It also shows how App-V enables different versions of Java to be used by different applications and allows desktop sharing by only showing users their assigned applications.

Application Virtualization (formerly SoftGrid) Run applications without even installing it locally Eliminate Application-to-Application Compatibility issues Run same application with different versions on same PC/Terminal Server Office 2000 and 2007 running together… …applies to custom applications as well

8. Applications will be published seamlessly… Virtualized application icons will show in the desktop so users can run them (like what they’re used to). But applications are never installed (no Client Footprint)!
