Have now been playing with Softgrid for a bit and remain gob-smacked. However,
I can't seem to find much detail on inter-application stuff.
I can't quite get my head round whether an app that connects to Office, for
example, will put it's hooks into 'real' office on the TS or must have Office
sequenced with it. If the latter, does that mean you have to sequence Office
with every application that references it, or just once?
If you have to do it every time, then how do you handle eg File Extensions?
If there is only one virtual copy of Office on the Q: drive, and half-a-dozen
apps accessing it in their various ways, are you not back to one of the
original problems - that their various ways of interrelating with Office may
interfere with each other?
I understand that 4.5 will help with all this, but presumably people are doing
something now?
On a more general note, can anyone point me at 'non-official' documentation
similar to "The art of sequencing" by Sean Donahue etal?
