Supported applications section
editDon't see the point of this list, which is just going to keep growing. A more noteworthy list might be those applications that 'cannot be packaged with ThinInstall. Socrates2008 (Talk) 04:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Software compatibility
editI have separated the part about software that require a device driver and software that have hardware-based protection, because:
- Most software that use device drivers is not with the intent of copy prevention (deamon tools, anyDVD, Antivirus software...)
- As far as I know, hardware-based copy protection is not (at least usually) based on device drivers
- So: These are two completly different things
Missing
editWhat I am missing in this article, is an explanation, what ThinApp is. I am only told, what I can do with it, but not, how ThinApp does it, how it basically works. 91.60.49.21 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 08:08, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
I think information about 64bit app limitation is really important --77.20.252.150 (talk) 17:54, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
Notability
editSomeone raised the question of notability, I fortunately found some reliable links of news/reviews: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Hope if suffices... Some links include eweek.com, computerworld.com, pcworld.com, etc...SF007 (talk) 23:17, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
Mistake
editSorry I wrote this on the Article, edits summary
ThinApp no longer belong VMWare. It was bought by Innotek (aka VirtualBox), then Innotek bought by Sun Microsystems. Citation Sun Press Room http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/pr/2008- 02/sunflash.20080212.1
It was an incorrect info, I mistakenly read VMWare as VirtualBox. --Ramu50 (talk) 19:01, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
VMware OpenSource
editVMware thinapp is now open source... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.178.215.214 (talk) 04:14, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hi. Doesn't look that way from where I am standing. Where is your source? Regards, Fleet Command (talk) 16:44, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'm also pretty sure it is not open source. I dare to say the user above saw something like "VMware ThinApp Open Source License" (direct link), however, that is related to open source software bundled with VMware ThinApp, and not VMware ThinApp itself. --SF007 (talk) 18:07, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
- Might be referring to this: "VMware ThinApp Factory" 196.215.104.254 (talk) 08:52, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Captures Redirect
editI was reading the Wikipedia article about the Nepalese Civil War which contains this sentence in its lede:
"The conflict was characterized by lynchings, massacres, purges, captures and autonomous rule, spread of communist teachings, conflicts against the authority and crimes against humanity."
The 'Captures' link above takes me to a page which redirects to this article (VMWare ThinApp). Confusing! Could someone more knowledgeable than I tell me what is happening here? I am not a regular contributor, so I could well be missing something.--PatchWar (talk) 17:12, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
"VMware® ThinApp (Project North Star/Thinstall)" listed at Redirects for discussion
editAn editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect VMware® ThinApp (Project North Star/Thinstall) and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 April 15#VMware® ThinApp (Project North Star/Thinstall) until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Promotional tone
editI'm not seeing anything on the page that strikes me as promotional in tone. If anything it reads like it was copy/pasted from their website but everything seems rather objective and not without evidence behind its claims. However, I'm new to editing on Wikipedia so I didn't want to remove the notice without checking with someone who knows their stuff better. Thanks! --Warm Yellow Sunflower (talk) 21:17, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
