Earlier I mentioned that VMware renamed Thinstall to VMware ThinApp. Later they released the release candidate and today it's available to customers. You can download and try it for yourself very easily (this was a disaster with Thinstall). But how is it priced?
Before we dive into the pricing, let's quickly take a look at the features of VMware ThinApp 4.0:
- Application isolation. VIsolated applications run in a virtual bubble in restricted user accounts without requiring any host modification. Deploy Office 97, 2003, 2007, and .NET applications on the same OS without conflict as the applications run independent of one another.
- Zero-runtime execution. With no installed agent, no footprint is left on the endpoint device. Applications run directly from the compressed state without first caching data to the hard disk, achieving better performance and security of data.
- 100% User Mode execution. Client runs on locked-down, unmanaged “kiosk”
