    David Greschler — Microsoft App-V’s 20-Year Run

    David Greschler, CEO & Co-Founder of NomadGo and one of the original founders of Softricity, joins Jason E. Smith to discuss the early days of application virtualization, the evolution of App-V, and the innovation he’s focused on today. They look back at how Softricity started, why software delivery was such a major challenge for IT teams, and how the need for simpler, more reliable application management helped shape what later became Microsoft App-V. The conversation also connects that history to today’s Windows application challenges. Jason and David discuss why many enterprise apps are still business-critical, how modern solutions like FlexApp and FlexApp Sandbox are helping IT teams move forward, and how David’s work at NomadGo is using computer vision and AI to solve real-world inventory problems.

    Brian Madden — You Can't Automate Your Way to Intelligence

    Brian Madden wrote The VDI Delusion in 2012 and called out an entire industry for believing its own marketing. Fourteen years later, he's a VP and Futurist at Citrix, and he thinks we're making the same mistake with AI.  In this episode of Liquidware Chats, Brian joins James and  introduces his "Cognitive Stack" framework and makes the case that everything we do in end user computing today sits in the bottom 20% of where AI value actually lives.  The real transformation is happening in the 80% that was previously invisible: the thinking, reasoning, and decision-making inside knowledge workers' heads. We dig into why corporate AI initiatives keep showing disappointing ROI while individual workers with a $20/month subscription are saying it changed everything.  Brian explains how he uses AI as a cognitive extension, why he predicted this shift wouldn't happen until 2027 and was wrong by over a year, and what software development's rapid AI adoption tells us about what's coming for all knowledge work. We also get into the hard questions for EUC. If traditional applications become "compatibility layers," where do you apply your security policies? What happens to DLP when you're dealing with tokens instead of packets? And why does none of this work if the infrastructure foundation isn't solid?  Whether you're an IT leader, a vendor, or someone trying to figure out where AI fits in your stack, this one will reframe how you think about it.

    Chris Walker & Jack Smith: 15 Seconds x 1,000: Why IT Automates Everything

    Jack Smith and Chris Walker, SME's for FlexApp and Stratusphere UX, join James O'Regan to discuss the idea behind Liquidware Sparks: small, field built utilities that save real time, fast. Sparks are about less clicking, more repeatable wins, and a clear path from prototype to product. We talk about the “15 seconds x 1,000” mindset, why PowerShell still matters, and how one-button automation (like running 150 checks in seconds) helps teams move quicker without cutting corners. We also get into AI-assisted “vibe coding” reality: it speeds up prototyping, but testing and customer validation still do the heavy lifting. 00:00 - Teaser 00:33 - Introduction 00:55 - What is a Liquidware Spark? 04:12 - PowerTools for Stratusphere UX 07:24 - PowerTools for ProfileUnity  11:48 - Vibe Coding in Claude 19:11 – Where to Ask Questions and Post Ideas  19:58 - Sparks in the Works  29:50 - The Future of Sparks 32:49 - Conclusion Liquidware Sparks:  https://www.liquidware.com/resources/liquidware-sparks Discuss on our Slack Community:  https://join.slack.com/t/liquidwarecommunity/shared_invite/zt-38l4hsgk3-iqlRF1cpjdQGlvojDo1ecw Liquidware Chats is a monthly podcast hosted by James O'Regan, Product Marketing Manager at Liquidware.
