OK the real title of the article at the Softgrid Team Blog is "A Look Under the Covers - The LOCAL_INTERACTION_ALLOWED Tag" but I liked mine better. Why I wanted to point out this article to you guys is because it answers a question that I get a lot: how can I make my Softgrid application interact with my locally installed applications? Well, Softgrid is (and has been) aware of the fact that sometimes this interaction needs to take place and they've create a special OSD tag just to allow you to configure this interaction: the LOCAL_INTERACTION_ALLOWED Tag.
What this tag basically does is to burst Softgrid's bubble (hence the title). Note that I said basically because this tag does not enitrely de-virtualize the application but rather does this at the named objects, COM objects and virtualized COM requests level.
Be sure to read the entire article at the Softgrid Team Blog.
