Office 2010 – You can now package, stream, and virtualize Office 2010. See http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC3277

Automatic application streaming by file association – Provisioned applications are streamed automatically when associated files are opened on the system. For example, Adobe Reader can be streamed automatically the first time a PDF file is opened.

Streaming Dependent packages automatically – You can indicate that a package has a dependency on an application in another package. When the package that contains the dependency is streamed, the package on which it depends is streamed automatically.

Browser Selector Object – The Endpoint Virtualization Suite added support for running virtualized Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 7 in 6.1 SP4. The Browser Selection Tool available in this release expands this functionality by providing the capability to load specific Web sites using a specific version of an Internet Explorer browser.
