To be fair the original question was appv vs 64 bit - everyone keeps moving the goalposts :)
While ctx app streaming is indeed free isn't it only 'free' if you've a ctx solution
Ideally IMO you need an application delivery method that'll work across your platforms so you've a consistent delivery method be it a terminal server as the device or a laptop

I am only experimenting with app virtualization, but initial thoughts are yes it can do what App-V can do. App-V does seem to have a lot more options/flexibility than Citrix does. Citrix solution does seem to have a lower learning curve. I am no expert so I would certainly get more educated opinions than mine.On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 2:21 PM, Christopher Wilson <christofire@xxxxxxxxx > wrote: Okay so on that angle, would you put XenApp streaming on the same level as App-V?
