Thinstall is nowThinApp

VMware announced that Thinstall is now going to be known as ThinApp. 

VMware application virtualization (powered by Thinstall) technology lets you deploy applications without conflicts quicker then ever before. Application virtualization extends the reach of desktop virtualization from the operating system to the application layer and simplifies the delivery of applications. See how application virtualization is enabling organizations to ease their Vista migrations while reducing application conflicts, deployment costs, and empowering a mobile workforce 

If you remember several months ago (Jan 2008 ) VMware purchased Thinstall.  It seems that the integration is progressing smoothly and the new product will be known as ThinApp.  You can download the Project Northstar (ThinApp) Beta 2 here.  VMware Project North Star (Thinstall) Beta 2’s new features at general availability (GA) will include dynamic linking between “virtual packages” (Application Link) and over the wire updates via HTTP/HTTPS to update deployed virtual applications (Application Sync). At GA 24×7 Gold and Platinum Support will also be offered.
