Hi,

Not as guest OS for virtual desktop of VMware view.

For Real?!  What is VMware's timeframe - that's unacceptable - we've been using Server 2012 w/ Hyper-V and now finding this out.  Hyper-V won't scale, but VMware has no support for Win8?

Any word of timeline?  We were looking to move off Hyper-V and back to VMware.  But I have about 35 production Win8 VDI's..

In my opinion, this is completely unacceptable. This is now the second instance for me where VMWare View or VCOPs for View isn't inline with the rest of VMWare's product line. We don't have support for Windows 8 in View but we have it in VSphere. And VCOPs for View isn't compatible with VCOPs 5.6. Come on VMWare. You have us purchase all of this technology, now it's time to keep up with yourself.
