To give a simple answer do the products work together, yes. ThinApp will work a couple different ways you can have just a short cut to the executable and have it run from a file share, integrate it into your base image using a virtual registry and file structure and you can do app streaming, but this will defeat you purpose to keep master image small as streaming will download the blocks of data reqiured start the application and then blocks reqiured to run different components of the application.

ThinApp can run a lot of applications, but not all applications can or should be virtualized and they will degrade in performance. You can deploy the virtual applications a few ways, 3rd Party management programs (such as AppSense), Group Policies using VBScripts and by creating a shortcut on the desktop and putting all applications in a folder. That is just 3 ways, and I will bet many people have other ways of deploying the applications. By reading your post it seems you may be fimiliar with App-V from Microsoft, if that is so I would not really compare these two products as they really deliver the applications differently. App-V only does Application Streaming so you lose your thin storage.
