Added to the benefits of RemoteApp is that you can create an .msi file from its distribution tool. With an .msi file you can use Group Policy to automatically distribute the RemoteApp as you see fit. After run once and the credentials are saved, the user will never no otherwise that the application is remote. You could even use certificates for authentication and bypass all user interaction altogether. The icons looks the same, the shortcut is in the same place, and all they see is the app window. It's a beautiful thing to see in action.

It's going to help make several server based LOB applications much more secure and easy to use in the end.
