Another great Blog, ThinApp 4.0 and I need a tissue

I subscribe to Geert Baeke's blog at Baeke.info from Google Reader (via the infamous PlanetV12 news feed) - Amazing blog!  This post on ThinApp 4.0 is fantastic and there are others on the site as well.  As with Scott Lowe's blog, this is yet another site to check out.  If you've looked at SoftGrid, or XenApp or Symantec/Altiris SVS or Thinstall, you need to look at ThinApp 4.0 and this is one of the best sites I've seen on this topic. After reading through some of his posts and seeing the new screen caps, I'm pumped.  I really wish EMC would consider giving ThinApp away in some form.  Maybe a "lite" version and a "full" version or something.  Maybe "lite" could chop out app-link and app-synch, and just make a dumb package (as if that would even be "dumb", chuckle...)  I'm still betting Microsoft will weave SoftGrid, in some form, into Windows 7.  It's gotta happen.  It's a no-brainer from a marketing standpoint.  Imagine the leverage that would have with respect to impressing upon their enterprise customers the notion of (a) eliminating MSI packaging, and (b) application conflicts and legacy app support.
