Well, it was long overdue in coming but we’re pleased to announce that the home for the App-V Team blog has now changed. Out is the old http://blogs.technet.com/SoftGrid URL we used to use and in is the new http://blogs.technet.com/AppV URL we've begun using this week. What, you didn't notice? That's thanks to our wonderful blog admins who simply put a redirect on the old site, mirroring the content and sending all traffic to the new site instead.
So what does this mean to you? Really not much, but if you have any RSS or ATOM subscriptions you might want to update them to point to the new feed URL instead. All existing subscriptions should continue to work but we can't guarantee how long the old SoftGrid site will remain live and we'd hate for you to miss out on an important announcement because your subscription wasn't updating. If you have any old shortcuts or bookmarks you're hanging onto, you might want to update those as well.
Aside from this it should look like the same blog you've become familiar with since we launched it way back in 2007. As always, thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions or feedback don't hesitate to send us a note.
The App-V Team
