Application Isolation Environments (AIE) Article

I wrote an article about Application Isolation Environments.
One of the new features of Citrix Presentation Server 4.0

I've been testing with this since the first Technical Preview
was handed out at last years IForum in Orlando and i'm
pretty impressed so far.

Since Citrix Presentation Server 4.0 is coming out this week
I thought it's time to share.

SoftGrid System Tray Utility version 0.6 available !!!

I created a System Tray Utility for use along side the
SoftGrid Client. At this point it has only three options:

. Refresh SoftGrid Applications List
. Remove All Applications from SoftGrid Client Cache
(handy when doing a lot of sequencing and testing)
. Call the SoftGrid Client Options Dialog

Download it here

In the future I will add extra functionality.
