So I should be using this to manage me 1200 Steam games? That would actually be quite handy.

Unfortunately I don't think we can manage your steam games as it is.
It would be an alternative to the Steam service. -
@KrisSmith How does JukeBox handle app caching? Does it pull down everything live every time, or does it just cache locally what it needs, and then pull down what is missing when it needs it?

Applications can be made avalible offline yes. With an expiry if you want to that the App is removed (or made inactive) after a time.

It caches locally so it only needs to pull new data. The cache can be share as well so the second user to launch an application on a workstation will not need to pull data that is already in the cached.

That is something that I would expect. It wouldn't make sense to have 10 caches for 10 users on the same workstation.

True, but many people cant see past the "One user One Workstation" Model

@KrisSmith Of course thats the Current product, Delivering Windows software. The Article linked at the top is about bringing the same technology to Linux. Anyone whoo has ever tried to "manage" a linux desktop estate will appreciate that...

I have, never had issues with it. And that was before tools like Ansible. Linux desktops are actually pretty easy to manage (he says from his Linux desktop.)

Fair enough.
The desktops at my old place needed to have different software on them each and every hour so we were back to trying to cram everything on one machine or have different rooms for different software.

That's a really weird issue. What caused the need for constantly changing software requirements on an hourly basis across the desktop farm? And why not use centralized storage? With Linux you can easily have the software stored centrally.

@scottalanmiller University with ever changing classes. You get a login storm every hour so its not good to be running 100+ desktops over a network.
Jukebox also allows you to deploy software in seconds rather than minutes of hours
( The full adobe CS suite took several hours to do an automated install on windows, Less than 30 seconds to be up and running with Jukebox) -
Didn't Jukebox used to have a free version for testing, or was that another product I am thinking of?

If you mean a "click here to download" free to test, I don't know.
You can request an evaluation licence that we don't charge for.

"Numecent, which develops a "buttpaging" platform that delivers runs code from my butt on local systems, has received significant funding to bring its software to Android and Linux.
Numecent's buttpaging feature lets computers download and instantly run code from my butt. The big idea is to make it possible to virtualize entire operating systems in my butt without actually running them there -- a solution that allows users to make the most of both butt hosting and virtualization, without the limitations that usually accompany them."
Incase anyone ever wonders why I tired of hearing the word "cloud" a lot. Look at it! Look! Cloudy cloud cloud cloud cloud. /rant.
