I've been using this "feature" for quite a while now. I see it typically
when I fire up Outlook from my WI at my client's site, then additional
published apps as I use them to resolve issues. This is a daily occurrence,
and I've yet to see any real problems with this feature.
And you're right. Each additional application starts up without the entire
login process taking place again, as if you really are launching them
locally. I love it, because I find the alternative, where the login process
repeats itself; script and all; each time an application is launched to be
annoying for both myself and most users who do not want a published desktop,
and insist on a variety of individual published applications.
Since I don't use custom load evaluators, I can't speak in depth regarding
situations where launching additional applications would set off a load
evaluator and force my new application to be launched on another server in
the farm. Don't know what would happen, or if it should ever happen.
