Microsoft unveils MED-V 1.0
ENT News | at | by Mike
The first version of Microsoft's desktop virtualization tool was announced last week. The tool, called Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) 1.0, is not a standalone product, but one of six applications in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack. In order to get MED-V 1.0, a Software Assurance license is required.
Organizations typically can use MED-V to run older applications on a newer Windows operating system. The "legacy" apps and OS become a virtualized desktop.
