Imagine accessing a new desktop app without having to endure the install process. We are all familiar with the numerous steps we have to take to actually run the apps we want, download the app, run the install, determine what dependencies are required (e.g. .Net, Java, Adobe AIR), install those technologies, resume install and finally access the application.

Communiqué PR client Spoon, a Seattle-based developer of app virtualization and streaming technology, allows developers, publishers and enterprises to deliver desktop apps or downloadable games via the Web and enables consumers, employees, contractors, and partners to access the desktop apps they want with a single click eliminating installs and reducing lengthy download times typically associated with desktop apps.

Until now there hasn’t been a simple solution to access apps via the Web. Many traditional app virtualization and streaming solutions require hardware and significant IT resources to distribute apps which ultimately results in poor user experience and increased latency. The company’s technology is being used by a number of organizations including Autodesk, Novell, the United States Marine Corps and casual game developer Wildfire Studios.

In preparation for the recent launch of Spoon Server, we scheduled and facilitated a number of analyst and media briefings. Over and over during those conversations we heard comments such as “This is amazing,” “It sounds too good to be true,” “What’s the catch?”

The company established a browser sandbox to demonstrate its technology and included a growing number of desktop apps (including games, productivity apps, and tools) on its portal Spoon.net such as Skype, TweetDeck, WinZip and even the popular game Oregon Trail. So if it sounds too good to be true – you can go check it for yourself.

Take a look at recent articles in Net Developer’s Journal, SD Times and ReadWriteWeb about the company’s technology. In the coming weeks we anticipate additional coverage will appear in SearchVirtualDesktop.com, Virtualization Review, Virtual Strategy Magazine, ZDNet and more.

Spoon will be attending Casual Connect Seattle July 20 – 22 and will be meeting with game publishers and developers. If you are interested in meeting with Spoon, please contact us.
