Software Virtualization

August 8, 2007

Look ma, no virtualisation window: at Tech.Ed Australia today, Microsoft showed its new “Softgrid” technology today that allows apps to run as if they were inside a second copy of Windows. But unlike traditional virtualisation apps, there’s no second Windows desktop getting in the way.

I can’t wait to get my hands on this.  Does anyone know of similar existing product or where I can get Microsoft’s Softgrid?

[update] Here is a free for personal use virtualization software - Altiris SVS - from http://juice.altiris.com/node/86  I used it before on XP and it’s GREAT.  It says it’s compatible with Vista now, so I am about to install it and try it out.  Let me know what you think?
