I'm in the process of evaluating some of the other software virtualization options that are out there, like Thinstall and Altiris SVS. On of the biggest things that struck me is just how different these technologies are, though they all seem to provide a similar outcome. I would love to pursue Microsoft Software Virtualization, but we will not purchase Software Assurance on our desktop operating systems, so it is out.

I'm evaluating based on a couple of criteria, like SMS integration, ease of deployment, security, and license management capabilites. I have a few demos set up and will follow up with some thoughts, but I was curious to see what everyone else is doing. Filed under: Management
