Just got this info in my inbox:
VMware is pleased to announce the release of VMware Project North Star
(Thinstall) Beta 2, now available for download on the VMware Web site. This
release marks a significant milestone in our efforts to integrate Thinstall
with other VMware products, and includes new features that simplify
deployment and strengthen security for "Thinstalled" applications.

*New Features in Beta 2:*
- *Simplify application dependency mapping and license management with
Application Link*: This feature allows administrators to dynamically
link Thinstall packages to one another, making it possible to create
separate packages for interdependent components (such as Java or .NET) and
use them across multiple Thinstall packages.
- *Reduce security risks with Application Sync*: This feature allows
customers to execute updates to virtual applications through a secure
Internet connection, increasing application portability while reducing
security and patch risks to offline and out-of-network machines.
Note: After reviewing extensive feedback from partners and customers, VMware
has decided not to release the Thinstall License Manager (TLM) at this time.
If you that have questions about the future availability of TLM, please
contact your Thinstall sales representative.
