Are there any easy-to-read primers on application streaming? What it does, benefits, advantaged/disadvantages, etc? My manager was at a user group on PS4.5 and they touted huge improvements to app streaming. It sounds like I may have good use for it, but need to get up to speed on it since I really know nothing about it. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom Monahan Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2007 10:21 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Quick Question on Streaming If the applicaiton is installed locally then the streamed application will use that. So in your example Adobe Reader would need to be installed locally on the client. However if Adobe reader was not installed locally on the client, you would need to package Adobe Reader and Outlook into the one single package and deploy that.

I have heard conflicting things on this so I hope some of you who have had your hands on this can share your thoughts. If I stream Outlook, what happens when someone tries to open an attachment like a PDF? If the reader installed locally (not streamed) does it use that copy and open the PDF or does the acrobat reader need to be part of the streamed app as well? What about a hyperlink? does iexplore have to be part of the streamed app package or is it smart enought to know explorer is installed elsewhere and can use it? I am building some vm's to test all of this, i am just curious what soem of you who have been down this road have seen. Thanks! Greg
