Of course... But net2display is vdi or helps vdi, right???
I think vmware is doing something with rdp and they don¹t want anyone to
know. They have to be... RDP sucks as a remoting protocol for VDI. I¹m
sorry but it does. There is not many people that love Vmware¹s VDM more
than me but it breaks when I use it as I have to use RDP (use it over
anything but a LAN and even then it sucks for anything intensive)
Vmware is not dumb, they need a fix... The need to do something and
net2display could be an answer but Vmware can¹t wait 2 years for it...
Ideas?
