    App - V Win 7 Beta

    App - V is a virtualisation platform which has just been released for use on Windows 7.

    Unlike tradional virtualisation software it mimics a vm without a virtual OS having to actually be installed. Compatability wise this should I at least hope allow troublesome software and hardware to work with Windows 7. I believe it also will be appearing on Vista at some point in the future.

In a recent demo, I was able to run three different versions of Microsoft Word simultaneously on a single PC, for example. I feel that this technology may be the key to the way future Windows versions handle backwards compatibility, incidentally.
    Might be of interest to a few people on here? Anyone used it?

    seams very similar to Parrallels's virtuozo software. Hopefully it won't be a steaming pile of dog balls.

    Its less about virtualising OS's and more about virtualising apps themselves. You'll no longer install an App, Its a virtual package. From a corporate viewpoint is awesome!

    Its been around for vista for a while, all they've done is added 7 support to it.
