Upgrading a desktop OS isn’t always easy. Typically, users have the OS, integrated with lots of applications, favourites, files, folders and other profile-related goodness. And when we move from Windows XP to Windows 7 – well we have a whole load of issues to consider from the profile. With that in mind, separation is a good thing! Separating the OS from the apps, which technologies like App-V, or XenApp can help with one part of it, and by combining this with capabilities like AppSense User Environment Manager, things improve even further.
For technologies like virtual desktops and specifically, Pooled Virtual Desktops (where users can get a random virtual desktop each day of the week!), the use of separation becomes near-essential.
So with this in mind you really should consider the value that Microsoft and Citrix bring when they are joined together, this video really highlights how easy it is to migrate your desktop, enjoy!
Upgrading to Windows 7, this could be a nice option for you. Contact charles.barratt@Dataplex-systems.com for more information.
