There's a "Click-to-run" SKU of Office 2010 available running under App-V. It's (seriously) magical technology. Your application streams to you while you run it, application updates are completely transparent, and registry modifications are entirely within the App-V sandbox. There's some work that MS had to do to add hooks to allow Office 2010 to interact with the local system when necessary.

Yeah, I'm familiar with that click to run Office 2010. I think that is the start of App-V becoming more prevalent by default in Microsoft's own applications.
