oledude discovered 3 months ago- From the page: "Specifically, Kidaro's software allows users to run applications from multiple versions of Windows at the same time on a desktop, with seamless windowing and menus so that it is not confusing to users, according to the blog, which is attributed to Chris Flores, a communications director at Microsoft. This scenario alleviates the problem of having to bring older applications up to date with a new OS running locally on a client machine. Microsoft will combine desktop-virtualization technology from Kidaro into the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) of software to create the forthcoming Enterprise Desktop Virtualization software next year. Microsoft has been offering MDOP for Vista since last July to make it easier for business customers to deploy the OS across multiple desktops. The package includes application virtualization and desktop- and asset-management software from several Microsoft purchases, including Softricity, AssetMetrix, Winternals Software, and DesktopStandard, and is designed to help business customers deploy a new OS and then manage client desktops. In recent months, Microsoft executives both privately and publicly have been stumping for the company's application- and desktop-virtualization strategies. As business customers have been slow to adopt Vista, both scenarios can help solve at least one of customers' major gripes with the OS: getting older applications to run, and run well, without a lot of recoding or reconfiguring. At a talk in New York last week, Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie promoted Microsoft's desktop-virtualization strategy, stressing how it will alleviate compatibility problems."
