Introducing Click-to-Run in Office 2010

Posted By: Charles | Oct 8th @ 9:00 AM | 54,646 Views | 3 Comments

John Jendrezak and Trevor McDiarmid give us a first look at Click-to-Run, an innovative new Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) technology for Office 2010 that  utilizes Microsoft’s streaming and virtualization technology (AppVirt - you learned a great deal about this technology right here on Channel 9...).   It's great to see application virtualization in the mainstream. Note that this is essentially a commercial for the new technology in Office 2010. We will go deeper in the future and in a more conversational manner. Please do ask questions here and on the Office 2010 engineering blog, where you can much more about this great addition to Office.

Maybe it's just me, but looking at that pierced lip is just too painful for me to take in the message that the video tries to present. Doesn't that thing invite infections, also?

I've been working with the tech preview and I enjoy being able to use it without it conflicting with my Office 2007 installation.  Its as painless as I think it can be.  Would I use click-to-run once released?  Not really, only because Outlook - Business Contact Manager is not distributed through click-to-run.  I'm pretty excited with what I've seen of BCM...its probably the most improved software in the Office suite.  http://blogs.msdn.com/bcm/default.aspx  If only Office Live Small Business could actually host/sync with BCM for a small team working from home offices.

Click-to-Run?  Sounds awfully similar to the Click 'N Run service from Linspire.

 

Come on Microsoft... first you sue because Lindows sounds too much like Windows, then you turn around and do the same to them.
