Desktop virtualization had become the hot topic in town.  Many of us had adopted server virtualization for years and now had be the right  time to seriously consider desktop virtualization with the latest release from VMware View with PCoIP. As part of the deal in VMware View, they bundle together with VMware Thinapp to enable application virtualization in VMware View Premier. You can also purchase VMWare Thinapp without VMware View.

To be honest, application virtualization is not new to myself, but Thinapp had been a new thing in my mind since I do not have time previously to try this out. After my buddy vmkoko convince myself to have a try, finally I manage to spend 2 hours to try this products out and finally I get to know what is VMware Thinapp. Thinapp is the application virtualization which deliver the application virtualization into the virtual desktop and physical desktop environment. From the starting, it gave me the feeling as Altiris SVS, but there are definitely different if we compare both products. Thinapp allow users to deliver application with or without installation which simplified the application delivery to be operating system independent.

Anyway, I cut my story short, I suggest everyone of you who are looking into VMware View for desktop virtualization, should seriously take a look of Thinapp and others application virtualization solution in the market.
