Working on a proof of Concept and I was wondering what does everyone out there?

So I'm in the middle of a VINE, but we're not replace desktop users, while giving them an additional office so that they can TEST.  Users are currently using Windows XP, and the new ENVIRONMENT will be Windows 7.  So my question is what does everyone out there in this situation? You are doing the same thing and identify USE cases and then using double desktop computers during the trial period? Also, I know I'll run into compatibility issues moving from XP to Windows 7, applications how did all handle this part? ThinApp?

It is not a VMware tool, but Microsoft's Application Compatibility Toolkit might be able to help to identify potential problems with Windows XP applications and correct or mitigate them before moving on to Windows 7. You can download version 5.6 here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=7352. I've used it before, and it is generally very useful. As with ThinApp though, it really helps to know your applications when using the law.

In regards to adoption by users of test, I found that if you give them two options during the trial period, they have inevitably will gravitate back to their old familiar on the new desktop view traditional PC, even if the desktop view works better. Best results I got were from the old PC power off and give users customers light to test with, as the other posters suggested. Another option would be to change the shell of the user in question (on their existing PC) to the VMware View Client is everything that manifests when they connect. All their stuff would still be there on the PC, but they could not really go in the way that they are familiar with, that they would have to use the desktop for the duration of the test. Then, when the test is complete, you can change the shell just back to Explorer.exe.

The shell can be set by using the following registry value:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\shell

Just change this to Explorer.exe the full path to the Client view.
