Totally agree with testing to find out what will be the best solution....I was just wondering whether the real-world experiences of the list were in line with what I'd expect to see.
I know that guys like Shawn and Helge (and Aaron Parker too, incidentally, he's another of the anti-AppData crew) should be listened to, but the client I am working for at the moment is arguing the toss with me about this (because their favourite consultants recommended that it should be redirected), and I was curious to see what the general opinion in the community was around it. It would be helpful to me right now if Shawn and Aaron had already done that presentation they were considering about this subject that they mentioned on Twitter :-) Cheers, -- *James Rankin* Technical Consultant (ACA, CCA, MCTS) http://appsensebigot.blogspot.co.uk On 13 November 2012 13:58, Webster <[email protected]> wrote: > Shawn Bass (fellow CTP and your fellow ACA) is firmly opposed to > redirecting AppData, especially is using Java apps.
