Hi I've tested (somewhat) Win8 on VCL:
Win8 only works on ESXi 5.0p4 and 5.1. During Win8 reservations VCL disables UAC and Win8 doesn't work well without UAC. When you make a reservation you will need to enable UAC and restart reservation (using reboot option in VCL GUI). Mouse corners are hard to use when connecting via RDP to Win8 - not sure how Win8 designed to work over RDP. On Feb 12, 2013, at 9:25 , Aaron Peeler <[email protected]> wrote: > Not sure.
