I use Softgrid (4.0, which I know is a version behind). It is useful for some minor/weird apps, but as soon as you use an app with OLE-type integration, it falls apart - and that wipes out Office, Accounts packages, CRM, most databases...sequencing most apps sounds lovely (And got me very excited as a possibility) but definitely is not feasible - though, again, I've just stayed at 4.0. I'm sure others will chip in with more recent experience...

Looking to test this for our Citrix farm in the near future. My
objective is to sequence most apps we use on our farm to make the
actual Citrix server nothing more than an OS and place for the
virtualized apps to run.  What do you use? Why did you choose/stick
with this product?  I know Citrix has their own app streaming in
XA5.0, but don't you have to run Enterprise or Platinum editions to
get this functionality?  Anyone use App-V for Terminal Services? Is
this better/worse solution than Citrix? Other products I should try
evaluating that do this would also be welcome.
