The company said development on the newly named App-V 4.5 has been completed and that it will be included in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) 2008 R2 that is set for release in a few weeks.
MDOP includes App-V; Enterprise Desktop Virtualization for managing and deploying virtual PCs; Asset Inventory Service, an inventory scanning tool; System Center Desktop Error Monitoring; Advanced Group Policy Management for change management via group policy objects; and the Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset, which helps in recovering a crashed PC.
MDOP is comprised of software from Microsoft’s purchases of Softricity, Kidaro, AssetMetrix, Winternals Software and DesktopStandard.
App-V 4.5 also introduces Dynamic Suite Composition (DSC), which lets virtualized applications share middleware resources such as a database.
Furthermore changes have been made to the licensing model
