VMware ThinApp Factory updated to Version 0.3.1
It seems as this will be the day of the updated End User Computing Flings at VMware Labs today.
ThinApp Factory was updated to version 0.3.1 and now comes with the recently released ThinApp Version 4.7.2. ThinApp Factory is a virtual appliance which can be used on either a ESX server or a VMware Workstation. With TAF you can automate the packaging process for virtual ThinApp applications.

The way PCoIP works
I found a great read over at Brian Madden’s blog today. The article is about an email between Gabe Knuth and Warren Ponder at VMware + Randy Groves, CTO of Teradici. Gabe asked some questions about the process how PCoIP software works with the hardware version in regards to the GDI primitives, rendering and so on. The answer was quite technical and really interesting.
