VMware ThinApp

For deployment of Windows applications, VMware has a product called ThinApp (Wikipedia) which is an application virtualization and portable application creator suite by VMware that can package conventional applications so that they become portable applications. These thin apps virtualize the entire underlying Windows registry and device driver stack so that you can package and deploy portable applications on any type of storage device (i.e., USB drive, flash drive, etc...) Check it VMware Thinapp. Sounds promising... this is something to research in 2010.
