Hi Clament,

I think the market is wide open. None of the competitive products seem to offer the unique application packaging abilities THINAPP brings to the table. In fact this is one of its most unique qualities. THINAPP requires no client. You can operate a THINAPP application from a thumb drive. From our research we have found that VMware has tackled most of the problems associated with packaging an application.

Here are some of the benefits we have found:

Once packaged the application can be deployed to just about any file storage solution.

Applications can be packaged with all of their Windows dependent components.

No client.

Applicaitions can be linked allowing applications to work together (this is a big deal trust me).

Applications can run with only the minimal files transfered.

There is zero footprint on the desktop.

User custimazation is sand boxed requiring minimal disk space.

The one major weakness we have found is the lack of license management. I know VMware is looking at this but it may be a challenge they cant tackle and keep the application hosting as simple as it is.
