This document discusses Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) 5.0. It provides an overview of new features in App-V 5.0 including an integrated platform, powerful management capabilities, and flexible virtualization. It also demonstrates how to create an App-V package using the sequencer, deploy virtual applications, and run real and virtual applications side-by-side. Finally, it covers packaging and deploying Microsoft Office 2010 and 2013 applications as virtual applications.
