What is Application Virtualization Software for Windows?

Application virtualization software packages applications in a virtual environment, which isolates them from the system, helping improve security, manageability, and compatibility across various platforms. It is commonly used in enterprise environments to reduce software installation conflicts, simplify updates, and provide secure access to critical applications.
