When will Multi-Monitors work for VMWare View on OSX?

We recently starting running VMware view for our windows workstations here at work.   We are still a VSphere 5 not 5.1 but when is the client for OSX going to have support for multiple monitors.  My windows counterparts all get to use View with multi monitors but the client for OSX which finally just got the security working, still is way behind!  The use of virtual workstations is pretty common place these days and with OSX so prominent now in corporate life, why is VMware a direct competitor to Microsoft from a virtual side not working more to make other operating systems works as well as their software running on Microsoft?  Seems very counterproductive!  If anyone has figured out a way to do this I would appreciate the information.  thanks.

I would like this feature as well. Once you use multiple monitors, you never want to go back to just one.

I just hooked up multiple monitors to a Mac Air we are testing and just realized this limitation.    It looks to me like it is probably a MAC limitation.   You cannot use any application (View Client or almost anything else, I am sure there are exceptions) on a MAC in full screen without rendering your other monitors useless.

I have a multiple monitor setup for my mac and would appreciate this feature.

This feature is definitely on the roadmap and currently we are looking to get this into a release early next year. I can't provide any more specifics than that but keep watching the Mac Client release notes as new releases come out.
