If I understand it correctly, I can still use a W2K8/R2 VM as the guest within VirtualBox and reap the benefit of video redirection. What tripped me up is the following line in the documentation:
7.1.9 VRDP video redirection [...stuff deleted] On the client side, however, currently only the Windows 7 Remote Desktop Connection client supports this feature. Wouldn't it be more accurate to write "RDP 7" instead of "Windows 7"? Because W2K8/R2 uses RDP 7 but is not Windows 7, technically.

I have to say that it warms my heart to see members of the community realizing the potential of VirtualBox brings to the VDI market. ;) Over the past couple of years, the product teams for Oracle VDI and VirtualBox have developed an amazing symbiotic relationship. Of course this is just my opinion, but I seriously doubt our any of our prior VDI efforts were really considered Sun acquired InnoTek. Nor do I think anyone ever really envisioned that the Sun Ray product group would become the primary consumer of VirtualBox technology. I know there are plenty of stories of people who left Oracle because they didn't like the decision made about the products they worked on, but I can't say I share that sentiment. It's a pretty exciting time to be involved with both Oracle VDI and Sun Ray. On 2/5/11 2:15 AM, Ivar Janmaat wrote: > Although I have not tested it.
