App-V White Papers

in Applications on App-v

Update (28/03/2012): This list of white papers are now available on the Microsoft Download Centre: Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) Documentation Resources Download Page

Microsoft TechNet recently went through a redesign that seems to have removed some content and in particular a list of App-V white papers that was on the previous Application Virtualization TechCenter no longer exists.

A couple of the white papers are currently available on TechNet, but the full list still includes a number of useful documents that are not. Here’s the original list of documents available for download:
