What you can virtualize :
Most applications can be virtualized. Typical applications include office suites, Internet browsers, media, and Office utilities, Home grown applications for Windows, Windows installer \ Install shield based apps etc.
Applications function normally when virtualized by the Workspace Virtualization Agent.You can also create virtualized data layers.
What you cannot :
- Windows operating system components
- Windows operating system patches
- Most drivers
- Applications that have dedicated drivers (example:Client firewalls)
- All management agents including antivirus software, security scanners, encryption agents, or any Symantec Management Platform Agent Data files that you plan to encrypt
- Utilities that are designed to run only in safe mode (Workspace Virtualization does not run in safe mode)
Conclusion : There is no actual limitation on what can be packaged while there are limitations on what cannot be. Application market is wide and dynamic. Symantec Worksapce Virtualization has a high degree of packaging efficiency and offers its own packaging tool (Workspace Composer) which facilitates a wide range of options to customize/tweak application behaviour when virtualized.
