Abstract
Embodiments are directed to dynamically delivering virtual software applications and to allocating application data between local and network data stores. In one scenario, a computer system establishes a data input/output (I/O) filter configured to intercept data file requests being sent from a virtual software application to an operating system's file system. The data I/O filter intercepts a data file read request that is configured to retrieve a specified data file from the file system. The data I/O filter forwards the intercepted read request to a network-accessible data store that is configured to return the specific data file. Then, upon receiving the specified data file from the network data store, the I/O filter sends the specified data file to the virtual software application. In this manner, the specified data file is usable by the virtual application.
