What's New at InstallFree - April 2010
April is shaping up to be an exciting month here at InstallFree.
Today, we are announcing the general availability of the InstallFree Bridge Suite 2.0 and a few other exciting news. Here's a quick breakdown of the announcement and what it means to our current and future customers.
InstallFree Bridge Suite 2.0 - Key Features and Benefits
Version 2.0 enables you to package applications on Windows XP and then run them on Windows 7 or Windows 2008 without repackaging. If it works on XP, it will work on Win7, Windows Server, Terminal Services, VDI, etc. It's that simple. You can find more information and demo movies on our Windows 7 Migration page.
You can now run virtual instances of Internet Explorer 6 and 7 on Windows 7 or any other version of Windows that has IE8 natively installed. We've seen many customer situations where migrations to Windows 7 were either delayed or seriously complicated due to the need to continue supporting legacy web applications. You can find a great example for this here. You can find more information and demo movies on our Virtual Internet Explorer page.
The release currently supports 32bit versions of Windows and we expect to have 64bit support generally available in Q3/2010. You will not need to repackage applications specifically for 64bit platforms and your existing virtual applications will continue to run without any changes.
Windows 7 Migration Promotion
If you are in the process of migrating to Windows 7 and have compatibility issues with XP or web applications, we would like to talk you. We are currently running a limited time promotion that will allow you to use our product to get over the migration hump for a very attractive price point, and then be able to take advantage of additional discounts should you decide to upgrade to the full product. If you want more details on this promotion, send an email to sales@installfree.com.
Online Hands-On Lab
Customers can now evaluate our software without the need to setup the product in their environments. Our Hands-On Lab will enable you to use a private instance of the InstallFree Management Console and a test endpoint, and run through standard day-to-day use cases with the product. We even provide embedded step-by-step instructions for evaluating key features.
If you want to give it a try, simply register for evaluation and we'll follow up with you to set up an account.
Application Cookbook
Our customer support portal now includes a section that will allow you to view encapsulation (packaging) recipes and submit new recipes for lab review. This should help you get more productive with our product much more quickly.
Stay tuned for additional news and announcements and if you have any questions or comments feel free to contact us.
