I think it would be much better to build a java port of the remote console client, that works on most operating systems (at least with reduced functionality), because a working VM console access with most browsers on common operating systems (Windows, Linux AND Mac) is an absolute and essential requirement for customer acceptance of the vmware vcloud solution. Even the last Web Developer/Designer realized that Windows-/IE-only solutions are no more state-of-the-art at least years ago, sad to see vmware still goes just this way (vSphere Client and vCenter for Windows only, Oracle Database needed for vCloud etc.) It is reasonable that no one can support every OS and every browser, but anyway there should be ways to get it working, even if it is not supported.
