Install, stream, host, Oh My!!!
Many of you have heard me talk about the different ways to deliver applications into a virtual desktop: installing, streaming, hosting and VM-hosting. As with all options in life, each one of these has their pros/cons. However, I recently found a way to remove one of the cons out of the equation for installed applications.
Although we like to say "No" to installing applications, for some organizations and applications it might still makes sense. It is easier (because we are used to it), installing supports every application, and it gives the fastest application launch time compared to any other option. My recommendation has been to install your common applications in your golden desktop image. If everyone needs the applications, then just install it to give the users the fastest experience possible.
