vSphere 5.5

Per the interopertability matrix vSphere 5.5 is supported with View 5.2 but I can't seem to find a listing of what features are and are not supported between the two.

For example Storage vMotion is not supported with View

The read ahead cache not supported.

vSphere 5.5 has a lot of cool features, but I would like to know what I can't use with my desktop stuff.

Fairly new to View but 7+ years on the server virtualization side. Starting to design two deployments for a few business units here and on my 3rd book in 3 weeks Smiley Happy

Storage vMotion isn't supported because you should be using the Rebalance option through Composer. Localized flash is supported using as a datastore for replicas or host cache for swapping but I haven't read anything about vFRC being supported yet.
