This way, you can launch single apps running on a Windows Server 2008 host from a web page. As far I can see now, its major enhancement is that TS Web Access can be combined with TS RemoteApp. With TS Web Access however, Microsoft is catching up. We never used it because we are working with Citrix Metaframe which has more sophisticated capabilities in this field. In Windows Server 2003, this feature was called Remote Desktop Web Connection. If you worked with Citrix Metaframe, you know this feature under the term 'seamless desktop integration'. You also use the RemoteApp manager to create a MSI or RDP file which has to be launched on the user desktop.

With the RemoteApp manager, you can configure which applications you want to deploy this way. The application runs on the server, but is more or less indistinguishable from a desktop application. That means they don't get a full blown remote desktop with Start Menu, Explorer and so on. This feature allows users to launch a single application on a Terminal Server.
