If executed properly, ThinApp Factory could be a game-changer in the world of application virtualization. And then based on that analysis, it can then virtualize the good candidate applications. I would not be surprised if the ThinApp Factory at release did not include an assessment feature that would also analyze the applications and determine which ones are good candidates for virtualization and which are not. VMware with the ThinApp Factory aims to simplify the process of application virtualization. ThinApp Factory will then sequence the application properly, presenting you with a fully packaged EXE file which you can then use. You can then point an installed application or an MSI package to this appliance and it will 'auto-magically' spin up the right VM with the right operating system based on a set of pre-qualifying questions you've answered. ThinApp Factory is dubbed to be an appliance that you install in your VMware infrastructure. The idea behind the ThinApp Factory is simplifying the application virtualization process - specifically, the annoying, cumbersome and somewhat complicated sequencing process. If I was to summarize it in a few words, I would say it this way: VMware ThinApp Factory is the P2V for applications.
