It even gives you the ability to run the thinstalled app with switches. It will pass the switches onto the program it is executing. For example...with the VMware VI client 2.5... you could pass "-passthroughAuth" to have it automatically log you in to your VI.

As I have said, if VMware could add some type of a management interface, like Microsoft SoftGrid has, this would be a total, all-in-one solution. I just think that it would be nice to be able to centrally manage your applications and provide easy upgrades to end users.
