Method and system for virtually delivering software applications to remote clients

A system for virtually delivering concurrently multiple software applications, comprising:

• a telecommunications network;
• at least one system server comprising multiple software applications;
• at least one client device located remotely from the at least one system server and communicatively coupled to the at least one system server through the telecommunications network, the at least one client device enabling a user to request multiple of the multiple software applications from the system server;
• and
• at least one application server associated with the at least one system server, the at least one application server configured to concurrently execute multiple of the multiple software applications at the at least one system server;
• wherein the at least one application server includes a compositing window manager configured to composite, at the at least one system server, a final representation of a graphical user interface of each of said concurrently executed multiple software applications independently of each other, and store each of said final representations in a separate memory buffer that is different than, and independent from, a graphics output memory and in which each of said concurrently executed multiple software applications can be manipulated separately from others of said multiple software applications;
• wherein the system server further comprises a hypermedia stream generator configured to access each separate memory buffer and to generate at the at least one system server a hypermedia stream encapsulating at least one final representation of a graphical user interface corresponding to the multiple software applications requested by the user;
• the at least one system server configured to deliver the hypermedia stream to the at least one client device;
• and
• wherein the at least one client device is configured to display content from the hypermedia stream via the graphics output memory at the at least one client device, and to allow the user to transmit interaction information to the at least one application server for interacting with the multiple executed software applications.
