'''Workspace virtualization''' is a way of distributing applications to client computers using [[application virtualization]]; however, it also bundles several applications together into one complete workspace.
'''Workspace virtualization''' is a way of distributing applications to client computers using [[application virtualization]]; however, it also bundles several applications together into one complete workspace. It is an approach that encapsulates and isolates an entire computing workspace. At a minimum, the workspace consists of everything above the operating system kernel – applications, data, settings, and any non-privileged operating system subsystems required to provide a functional desktop computing environment. By doing this, applications within the workspace can interact with each other, enabling them to do some of the things users are accustomed to and which are missing in application virtualization such as embedding a Microsoft Excel worksheet into a Microsoft Word document. Further, the workspace contains applications settings and user data enabling the user to move to a different [[operating system]] or to a different computer and still preserve applications, settings and data in one complete working unit.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://virtualization.sys-con.com/node/761326 |title=Workspace Virtualization {{!}} Virtualization Journal |website=virtualization.sys-con.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101219024733/http://virtualization.sys-con.com/node/761326 |archive-date=2010-12-19}} </ref> For deeper workspace virtualization, the virtualization engine implementation virtualizes privileged code modules and full operating system subsystems through a kernel-mode Workspace Virtualization Engine (WVE).▼

===Workspace Virtualization vs Application Virtualization ===▼
Workspace virtualization enables individual applications to interact with each other and also enables user settings/configuration and user data to stay within the workspace. Application virtualization does not. Application Virtualization shields independent applications from each other better should one of them prove to be hostile (i.e. contains a virus of some sort).
Workspace Virtualization runs directly on the client computer hardware whereas Desktop Virtualization in many cases runs on a remote computer somewhere over a corporate [[Local area network|LAN]]/[[Wide area network|WAN]] or over the Internet (called Hosted Desktop Virtualization).
