Topic: Launch Virtual Apps Directly from your Linux Desktop

[sam]

In an article about desktop virtualisation I explored some of the options for virtual machines on a linux desktop. In this article, I’ll extend that a little by setting out how to launch a Windows app from your linux desktop as if it were a native app. It isn’t in fact a native app, it’s an application running in a virtual machine on vmware and displayed on your desktop using unity mode. But for all intents and purposes it will look and behave as if it “belongs” on your desktop.
