Virtualization at the application level is becoming a very popular topic in the market. Thinstall Virtualization Suite (TVS) 3.0 allows you to virtualize your system without using client-side software.
The benefits of application virtualization are easier deployment and management. Program files, registry settings and virtualization layer are isolated from the OS and other applications. Thus, any conflicts are avoided. The author says: “Like SoftGrid, Thinstall's sandboxing helps eliminate problems that arise concerning version control, app conflicts, user privileges and other common glitches. When a TVS application is launched, it runs completely in user mode on the machine and has no interaction with other installed software. Even on a locked down workstation, if the application wants to write to files and registry settings that are read-only to the user, TVS's virtualization layer lets the application think it is writing to a protected area, when it's actually writing to the sandbox. When the application closes, the workstation OS remains untouched.”
