Microsoft App-V Will be Delivered by Citrix Receiver and Dazzle
July 13, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Once again, Citrix shows how to successfully play with Microsoft as a partner. They are taking the core functionality of App-V and building on it by delivering it with Citrix Receiver and Dazzle. I think having the applications delivered via Dazzle is a compelling idea.
What is still unclear is if Microsoft is going to make App-V’s licenses to gain a wider install base, but I expect that to happen soon as well.
Handy Cloud Applications and Web Based Services Make My Migrations Much Easier
I move between computers and OS’s fairly regularly. I’ve started using a few really handy web-based applications to make the moves as painless as possible and without having a long downtime when I choose to install a different Linux distro or Windows 7 as the pre-release versions drip out from Microsoft.
As I’ve added these apps, I’m finding that I can move pretty quickly to a new setup very quickly now. Here are the ones I’ve found so far to be the most handy.
Free:
Office applications, email, calendaring.
Google Mail, Docs, Calendar http://google.com
File storage, free up to 2GB. It’s easy to set up and use.
Dropbox www.dropbox.com
Great note-taking, pasting functions. This is quickly becoming my memory. In fact, I wrote this blog post in Evernote.
Evernote www.evernote.com
Firefox plug-ins:
Xmarks - syncs your bookmarks and passwords
Delicious – I still use Delicious to go across browsers to bookmark links.
Not Free (for full versions):
Google Apps http://google.com/a I really like Google Apps. They do nearly everything I need on a normal basis.
Carbonite www.carbonite.com All my critical files are automatically backed up and updated every day. I don’t even think about it anymore.
I’m sure I’ll add more to this list and some may be replaced eventually since that’s the nature of our business.
