Hi,
I am currently creating a deployment plan for deploying Windows 10 later this year and evaluating ThinApp as part of that. However, I seem to be at a loss as to what ThinApp actually offers. In principle, the idea is wonderful and makes matters much simpler and easier to be able to deploy applications independently of the operating system images and in particular, makes updates and per-user deployment much more pleasant than without it...
What I don't understand however, is what people are actually using ThinApp for in practice. From what I can tell, it doesn't support any of the typical applications one might expect to deploy: No Office (either 2013 or 2016), no Adobe Acrobat DC, no Google Chrome, no Mozilla Firefox.... so what is the point of ThinApp exactly?
The product seems discontinued with no major feature updates for a very long time and no improvements in compatibility with software at all in recent versions. Is there a future for ThinApp?
