		<description><![CDATA[With the release of View 3.1 we received some more flexibility with presenting/hiding Human Interface Devices  (think foot pedals for a transcriptionist, some type of bardcode scanners, etc). HID devices are filtered out by default as it would be a bad thing if your local mouse was redirected for example.  So to enable a specific [...]]]></description>

(Just a small jab) It’s actually a very exciting event in terms of the possibilities it opens up. Already out of the gates, VMware has announced in the press release a bunch of different partners that are leveraging this View Open client in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is a very exciting day for those working in and around desktop computing. VMware has released a major new version of it’s end-to-end virtualized desktop solution, View3 (yes that’s a new name. VDI as a product name has fallen to the way-side). I have had the privilege of working with the product since it’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[VMware recently updated its networking performance tests to see if the ESX hypervisor could efficiently leverage the ever-expanding bandwidth available at the Ethernet level. In short, it sure can! A single VM can effectively saturate a 10Gbps link when jumbo frames are enabled. But that&#8217;s not to say it can&#8217;t perform well with multiple virtual [...]]]></description>
