VMware InstallBuilder (InstallBuilder for short) is a multi-platform installer building program for Windows, Mac and Linux, developed by VMware. It enables software developers to easily build cross-platform installers of desktop and server software for various operating system platforms, and is a necessary development tool for developers who need to create multi-platform software.

VMware Horizon changes its name back and forth, which is really confusing and frustrating. It was first sold under the name "VMware VDM"; but with the release of version 3.0.0 in 2008, it was changed to "VMware View"; and changed again to "VMware Horizon View" with the launch of version 6 in 2014; when version 7 was released, it changed its name to "VMware Horizon" (Horizon for short); and I am sure it will change its name once more in the near future.

As a well-known application virtualization tool - i.e. the single-executable/portable software builder, VMware ThinApp is actually the former Thinstall Virtualization Suite which was later acquired by VMware. It can also be simply interpreted as one packaging suite for software and its complete running environment.

VMware Workstation 12 unexpectedly released so quickly (have to admit that this is really a "version competition age"). Anyway, this new version added dozens of new features, for example, the installation and usage were specifically optimized for Windows 10; supports DirectX 10, OpenGL 3.3, 4K resolution (UHD), 7.1 surround sound, IPv6 NAT, enables Windows 7 to support USB 3.0, etc.

As the world's most high-profile and most powerful virtualization solution (virtual machine), VMware Workstation 11 has been officially released. The new version brings many improvements and upgrades: adds support for Windows 10; improves the Unity for Windows 8.1; distributes the default RAM of virtual machine for up to 2GB; runs and starts faster, etc.
