When the text describes the larger View environment, you might see View infrastructure, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), or the abbreviation View. When describing a virtual desktop, the text may refer to a virtual instance, View desktop, or (as previously mentioned) virtual desktop. You’ll see several terms in this book used interchangeably. If you are currently considering deploying end-user computing (EUC), it is likely you will have requirements for all three: a virtual desktop delivered with View, mobile and tablet-based users accessing Workspace, and traditional desktops delivered through Mirage. It was included in Horizon Suite to deliver a virtual workspace that provides a single portal for the user to access enterprise and Cloud-based applications, data services, and View desktops. VMware Workspace is targeted to delivering services in a way that is more tablet, mobile, and Cloud friendly. VMware announced that View would be part of the Horizon Suite, which thus consists of VMware View, VMware Mirage, and VMware Workspace. Unlike local mode desktops, Mirage does not make use of a hypervisor as it runs as an agent on a traditional XP or Windows 7 operating system. If the virtual desktop needs to be run in a disconnected/offline mode, users running Windows clients can check out the virtual machine (VM) so that it runs as a local mode desktop changes to the desktop are synchronized to the datacenter when they reconnect. Users can connect to virtual desktops running in the datacenter from various types of View clients. VMware View, VMware’s vSphere-based virtual desktop solution, provides online and offline access to desktops in the datacenter. Any changes are synchronized back to the endpoint, enabling centralized management without sacrificing the decentralized execution of a traditional desktop environment. The CVD is built using OS and application layers, in addition to a driver library that can be managed and changed. Endpoints are synced to a centralized virtual desktop (CVD) in the datacenter. Mirage was designed to centralize and optimize desktops by providing layered image management over both local-area network (LAN) and WAN links. The experience in WAN optimization was the basis of the company name Wanova. The founders of Wanova had extensive experience in wide-area networking (WAN) and had already developed and sold a WAN services company, Actona, which was acquired by Cisco. VMware acquired Wanova and its flagship product Mirage. VMware’s product line has rapidly evolved to become a more complete end-user suite.

Note: VMWare and VirtualBox can be problematic with Windows 9x. All others require an appropriate Windows 98 Boot Floppy. Important: Only the OEM Full version is bootable. This will allow systems as old as the 80386 with 8MB of RAM to run Windows 98 (although this will be far from optimal) Hardware requirements can be bypassed in the setup with the undocumented /nm setup switch. The last version of Microsoft Office capable of running on Windows 98 is Office XP. Other available upgradeable components include DirectX 9.0c, Windows Installer 2.0, GDI redistributable, Remote Desktop Connection (XP 5.1), and Text Services Framework. The last version of Internet Explorer that can be installed on 98 SE is 6.0. The Visual C 2005 runtime is the last to carry Windows 98 support. Windows 98 Second Edition can be updated with the Microsoft. Windows Media Player 6.2 was also shipped replacing the old classic Windows 3.x/95 "Media Player" that originated with the Windows 3.0 MMC Extensions. DirectX 6.1 was also included with DirectSound improvements. Internet Explorer 4.0 was also upgraded to 5.0 and Internet Connection Sharing made its debut. Windows 98 Second Edition is an update to the original Windows 98 that includes improved modem and sound/audio card support through the Windows Driver Model, improved USB support, Wake on LAN support, FireWire DV camcorder support, and SBP-2 Mass Storage device support.
