they renamed AIE to.
I have a lot of customers that combine XenApp with App-V quite successfully.
I can't really speak as to why. In a few cases it is because they used
SoftGrid before Citrix had a solution -- but most of those I have seen
lately have chosen this route even though they have access to a full Citrix
Solution. Some customers are App-V with Terminal Services only, but many
more are using Citrix (leaving the desktop-only customers aside right now).
As to other options, most would be under consideration for desktop
deployments only. For the XenApp farm I would rate App-V as tops and Citrix
(name of the season) very close (possibly ahead if it ends up being free for
you and you don't have too many "hard" apps).
Keep in mind that I am biased towards App-V.

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

Another vendor solution worth consideration is InstallFree with the InstallFree Bridge. The solution creates complete virtualized applications that run independent of the underlying OS and does not require an agent to be installed, which is different than App-V. In addition, when you want to create a patch or extention to the original app, you simply virtualize the patch or extension and it will dynamically bind with the app. There is no need to create another version of the app. InstallFree also does not require a dedicated server or a clean machine to create virtual applications.
