Recently, VWware (product marketing) director Raile Mallempati Raj Mallempati announced the launch of VMware View 4.5. I looked at the entire text of the announcement and this is what interested me the most:
1. “View Client with Local Mode - the industry’s first integrated offline and server hosted solution for desktop virtualization. If you’re on the network, you can check it out. Furthermore, there are no other solutions. Additionally, it has been checked out. This will enable organizations to rapidly use desktop (for Employee Owned IT) use cases. ”
Finally, we waited for a copy of the virtual workstation to be downloaded to the laptop from the virtualization server, go on a business trip, and work quietly even without connecting to the enterprise network. And when you return - to synchronize the changes. This allows you to completely abandon physical desktops in favor of VDI solutions, even for mobile workers.
2. Full Windows 7 support - 4.5 and ThinApp 4.6 for organizations in Windows 7, organizations can migrate to Windows 7 at a cost of half. We have been able to make it easier for you to use virtual memory.

Well, everything is clear without additional words. Currently, Windows 7 is becoming the corporate standard for most customers. Therefore, the official support of this OS in VDI from VMware is great news.
3. Role Based Administration - allows you to.
Delegating roles is, of course, good. Let's see how this will be done. So far in this regard, VMware View is far from, for example, Quest vWorkspace, where you can delegate authority in a very wide range.
In general, we are waiting =)
