2:30 – 3:00 PM Microsoft Application Virtualization
Description:
Tired of applications that leave behind bits and pieces of themselves when you uninstall them? Wish installing applications was a one-click
process? Ever lose your laptop and dread the time you’d have to spend re-installing all your apps? Answer rhetorical questions no longer and learn about Microsoft Application Virtualization which lets you stream your applications on-demand. Applications
run virtualized so they don’t impact your machine’s state and always uninstall cleanly. See how you can “install” hundreds of applications in mere seconds and how AppV makes application deployment to multiple machines a snap.
