So I was thinking a demonstration of XenApp desktop integration might be in order. "Citrix Applications" formerly known as "Program Neighborhood Agent" allows you to deliver Citrix applications seamlessly to the Windows Start Menu, Desktop, Quick Launch bar, Sidebar and the Windows Notification Area (AKA The Systray). Virtually everywhere you can place a Windows shortcut you can place a Citrix delivered app shortcut. Check it out ...
These were created on my Vista desktop but this all works equally well in Windows XP with the exception of the Sidebar which isn't available. The important take away is that users can interact with Citrix delivered apps in the same way they do with local apps.
Our Motto - "If we do this right users wont know we've done anything at all."

If you look down in the right hand corner you can see the client side virtualized app launch indicator. I believe that one was OneNote.

We are still working through the transition away from PNA. When we ship later on this year we intend to have all of the strings changed. Thanks for paying that close attention

The admin can publish the same app using both methods creating two separate icons allowing the user to choose the method or the system can display one icon that, when chosen, will launch the appropriate method depending on system preference.
