Like shooting fish in a barrel. You hear those phrases all the time. But how often do you hear them applied to installing server applications in a datacenter? Sure, maybe you have someen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.technet.com/b/serverappv/archive/2011/03/25/welcome-to-server-application-virtualization.aspx#3416671Tue, 29 Mar 2011 02:03:59 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3416671Eric C Jewart<p>@Colin: Server App-V apps still run in a bubble, like they do on the desktop, but we&#39;ve greatly reduced the amount of isolation the bubble provides. For example, NT services that are part of a virtual package are registered with the local Service Control Manager, so the SCM can start services that are supposed to start up automatically when the system starts. Users don&#39;t have to click documents or shortcuts to launch server apps, since that&#39;s not generally how server apps get launched. </p> <p>Thanks for this question--it&#39;s an interesting one, and I will write up a more detailed post in the near future about isolation and state separation and what we&#39;ve done with Server App-V that&#39;s a little different from the desktop App-V product.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3416671" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.technet.com/b/serverappv/archive/2011/03/25/welcome-to-server-application-virtualization.aspx#3416522Mon, 28 Mar 2011 15:54:30 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3416522Colin Bragg<p>How does the technology in this relate to the desktop app-v &#39;bubble&#39; concept. &nbsp;With the app-v desktop you need an user to click on an FTA or shortcut to &#39;open&#39; the &#39;bubble&#39;. &nbsp;Does this move away from this concept and adopt a similar approach to your competitors of using virtual &#39;layers&#39; instead? </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3416522" width="1" height="1">
