App-V let's you run the software without installing it, speaking simply, so it can get around a lot of conflicts due to the isolation it offers, but if there are no conflicts....total overkill.
For a small setup the simple overhead of creating and updating app sequences makes it unsuitable. I'd rip and replace it unless there is some software that necessitates the extra complexity, of which there seems to be none.

The environment consists of 25 thin client devices in a school/lab setting. The ONLY software used on the terminal server is Office 2007 and Internet Explorer. I can't seem to determine why the vendor bothered with building a separate MS APP-V server for Office 2007. Why not just load Office 2007 on the terminal server? It's not taxed as far as resources go. There is no other software loaded on the terminal server that conflicts with Office 2007 so... why APP-V? Thinking about building a replacment terminal server, and installing Office 2010 on it. My experience with APP-V is basically nil... but guessing at this point, it's not needed at all for an environment like this one?
