Application Virtualization: Microsoft Support Position

“The support policy for third-party applications that run in a SoftGrid Application Virtualization environment”.  

Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization is an application virtualization. SoftGrid Application Virtualization is also an on-demand delivery platform that has the following capabilities: 

  • SoftGrid Application Virtualization removes the application dependencies from the operating system 
  • SoftGrid Application Virtualization delivers the applications on demand
  • SoftGrid Application Virtualization runs the applications in a protected environment 
Therefore, the Microsoft Windows operating system remains unchanged. However, the Windows operating system still delivers the application functionality. If you have applications that are installed locally or if you have applications that are virtualized, these capabilities significantly reduce the conflicts between the applications.

We support SoftGrid Application Virtualization as an alternative platform when you run applications. We do not directly support any third-party applications that run in a SoftGrid Application Virtualization environment.

We provide commercially reasonable efforts to investigate potential issues when you run third-party applications in a SoftGrid Application Virtualization environment. As part of that investigation, we may require that you reproduce an issue independently from the SoftGrid Application Virtualization environment. The issue may not be related to SoftGrid Application Virtualization. If the issue is related to the third-party applications, you must contact the third-party vendors for more information about how to resolve the issue.

“Description of the support policy for Microsoft programs that are running in a Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization environment”

This article describes the Microsoft support policy for Microsoft programs that are running in a Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization environment.

Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization is an application virtualization and dynamic delivery platform. This platform performs the following functions:
  • It abstracts the program dependencies from the operating system
  • It delivers the program dependencies in an on-demand manner
  • It runs the application dependencies in a protected environment that leaves the operating system in an unchanged state. 
These capabilities significantly reduce program conflicts that might occur between locally installed or virtualized programs.

Thanks to VirtualWorld for sharing this information about Microsoft's support policies on Application Virtualization.
