Hello,

How popular are Xenocoded apps?
--- quote ---

Well I honestly don't know so I did some research.

An hour with google turned up interesting results/stories.
It seems there is a connection between Micro$oft, Xenocode, Novell and possibly
others.
Xenocode was founded by former Micro$oft employees
(http://dotnet.sys-con.com/node/833698/print)

How I like "The company claims thousands of followers" phrases/marketing blurb
:-)

--- quote ---
...applications deployed with Xenocode have essentially the same performance
characteristics as native executables. “Xenocoded” applications require no
setup, configuration, clients, or device drivers, are isolated from external
DLL and dependency conflicts, and run properly on Windows Vista and locked-down
desktops. Xenocode-virtualized applications can be easily deployed on USB
devices, corporate intranets, the Internet, or existing desktop management
infrastructure software such as Microsoft SMS, LANDesk Management Suite, BMC
Configuration Management and Novell ZENworks.

Novell today announced the launch of Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization
(Zav). Born from a partnership with Xenocode, a company founded by former
Microsoft engineers, Novell Zav makes it possible to package Windows
applications inside a virtual container to ease their deployment while
minimizingrisks of application conflicts and compatibility problems between
applications

Xenocode, a next-generation virtualization company, today announced the
licensing of its best-in-class application virtualization technology to Novell.
The recently announced Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization solution
leverages Xenocode’s virtualization technology to allow customers to deploy
their applications inside a “virtual container” requiring no installation
or configuration. Virtual application deployment eliminates application
conflicts and compatibility problems on Windows desktops, allowing
organizations to run legacy applications on Windows Vista and deploy multiple
versions of applications side-by-side in isolated “sandboxes.”

“We are especially excited about combining our leadership in virtualization
technology with Novell’s best-of-breed ZENworks management infrastructure
platform,” said Kenji Obata, Xenocode founder and CEO. “This licensing
agreement provides a powerful, integrated solution for large organizations to
assure instant availability of applications across all versions and desktop
platforms.”

So this application virtualization _might_ be a big thing considering this axis
of evil or just another a flash in the pan.

A mentionable net event was this Xenocode browser-in-a-sandbox stuff. Though
from what I've read (mainly german sites) it wasn't spectaculary successful and
in the end it turned out not-so-sandbox like ;-)

If you are afraid of this, just don't spread hope everywhere:

Anyway ... I'm only interested in challenging bugs, making apps to work is of
secondary interest (if any) ;-)
