Click-to-Run: Microsoft Delivering Office 2010 using App-V | |
|

Click-to-Run is a new software delivery mechanism built by the Office product team. It’s based on core virtualization and streaming technologies from the Microsoft App-V team in Cambridge, MA. Click-to-Run is optimized for home users on broadband connections (at least 1Mbps), and there are three key pillars of the investment |

"It’s fast. Home users can stream Office and be running their apps in as little as 90 seconds (under 5 minutes on average), or about 10% of the time it would take otherwise."
So, it will take as little as 90 seconds to start Word, which I just clocked at 2-seconds for the installed Office 2003. Where is the real advantage to me? Does it stay locally available for subsequent fast starts as long as I don't turn off or reboot my PC? |

| Most application virtualization systems I've seen deliver the app as a combined package of files and registry entries, and the package does not persist after a reboot. This looks like a client/server model where you have users at home and you want them to use Office without them having to install it locally. It streams down to the user and they can use the tools until they end the session. If you already have Office installed locally, there is nothing here for you. In a way, it's like Windows Installer's Advertise feature, where you can install shortcuts for apps that get installed when the app is first run. When the app comes down, it unpacks and runs in a sandbox so it doesn't conflict with other installed apps. I've been playing with desktop virtualization for years with Symantec's SVS (now called SWV) and it's pretty cool technology. |
