Also, because of the virtualization “bubble”, similar to a virtual guest running on a server, the Click-to-Run application does not conflict with other installed applications so you can run multiple versions of Office including older versions on the same computer. A great thing about App-V is the streaming technology allows users to begin the install and then almost immediately launch it while it’s still being streamed/installed on the desktop. App-V allows system administrators to package an application in a virtual “bubble” and then deploy it in large quantities to their desktops.

Click-to-Run is a Microsoft application streaming and virtualization technology (App-V) which they acquired from a company named SoftGrid several years back.
