For instance, on the Mac, the application icon appears in the Mac dock, and application windows layer over each other, as you would expect (see Figure 1). The applications look and behave like applications running natively on the local computer. In this significant update to the VMware Horizon Clients, users connecting to a Horizon 6 View Connection Server can access applications running on a Windows Remote Desktop Session host (RDS host) from the Horizon Client over PCoIP. For more information, see the VMware Horizon Clients documentation. With Horizon 6, the remote Windows apps feel so native that end users will regularly forget that the applications are not running locally.
We expect our new, RDS-hosted applications feature to be like that for end users. I found a red button that looked so much like the original piece that while I was playing I almost never thought about the replacement. By Kristina De Nike, Senior Product Manager, End-User Computing, VMware
