Reviewing complex applications

Understanding applications is a key element prior to starting with the sequencing process. Gaining deep knowledge about it will give us the necessary tools for proper sequencing, especially when we are dealing with complex applications.

In my previous book, Getting Started with Microsoft Application Virtualization, we took a closer look at the step-by-step process for virtualizing a seriously complex application such as Microsoft Office 2010. Even though we are not going to review it again, we'll talk about the important topics we must understand to achieve a happy ending while virtualizing a complex application.

Another important thing to remember about the applications and their sequencing process is that we should always maintain this process with the recommended best practices; this way we'll avoid common errors and misconceptions regarding this stage.
