ThinApp is not being discontinued! The current stand-alone licensing scheme for ThinApp client licenses and the ThinApp Suite (including ThinApp client licenses, ThinApp packager, and VMware Workstation) are being discontinued. From the How to Buy page, we read that ThinApp will no longer be available as of December 15, 2013, with no orders for ThinApp being accepted after that date.

The EOA notice is posted on the VMware ThinApp How To Buy page, with a PDF FAQ document here. I thought I might set the record straight here.

You shouldn’t virtualize OS components or software such as VPN clients, antivirus, and personal firewalls. If you have an application that has a driver component, then the solution today would be to virtualize all of the application except for the driver part and then deploy the driver part of the application directly to the client OSs. It actually has the same limitation as App-V in that you can't virtualize drivers. ThinApp is VMware's application virtualization solution, the equivalent of Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V).
