SoftGrid for Windows Vista

Opinion
Jun 13, 20071 min

Microsoft will release a Windows Vista™ version of SoftGrid on July 1, 2007.

SoftGrid is Microsoft’s application virtualization software solution that allows IT managers to deliver secure, never-installed applications that also have the capability for remote delivery.

Important to managers is SoftGrid’s ability to let them test mission-critical desktop apps for compatibility in this nascent Windows Vista™ era.

Bringing SoftGrid to the desktop will allow more granular testing of client apps and help reduce network traffic.

A component of the Desktop Optimization Pack, SoftGrid is available only to subscribers to Microsoft’s Software Assurance program.

Do you manage a fair amount of Microsoft Windows client computers? If you do, there is absolutely no reason why you should not be a subscriber to Microsoft’s Licensing and Software Assurance programs.
