Hi and thanks for discussing this info, I do not know about everyone else, but I can totally use it.

It seems there are several ways to use App-V. It can either execute the applications on the App-V Application Server or “cached” directly on the client. I guess the first method will give the same network benefits as a Citrix configuration, and therefore very usefull in a multi-site enviroment. Looking forward to see your results from testing COM – that could really make it a Citrix killer

Peter, im pretty sure this is an alternative to RDP/Citrix multi-site environments. I found some background information on App-V here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/App-V.
I have not had any time this last week testing the features, as i have been onsite at a customers site all week. But im particularly interested in seeing how Automation controls etc. are handled.
As far as i can see the App-V client is updateable by Windows Update, so that makes updates pretty easy.

Thanks for the update Søren, however I still find it hard to see what benefits this provides. I only see it as an alternative way to deploy new NAV versions, and not an alternative to RDP/Citrix for multi-site enviroments. Is that correct? If so, then I can’t help wonder if there will be more updates to the NAV client than to the App-V client it self, or is the App-V client also ”self updating”, like i.e. Google Chrome?
