[THIN] Re: Anyone using Application virtualization inside a Citrix/TS session?

I heard the OLE thing mostly was addressed in v4.5. I will definitely

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...
