      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Frankly, most web clients are a horrible disappointment. The purpose of them was to be platform agnostic (Windows [WhichOne?]?, Linux?, Mac?) and provide a more streamlined approach to delivering upgrades and enhancements without having to install new software and manage client cycles in addition to the server side.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;With very few exceptions, &lt;EM&gt;NO ONE&lt;/EM&gt; has been able to do that. I would list some very specific software-based network management products from a major network equipment manufacturer, but I don't want to create any problems.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Suffice it to say that every new version requires specific versions of specific browsers and specific versions of Java -- and the versions haven't been all the same or compatible in the past resulting in the need for different VMs just to run the clients to manage the VM-based server installs. Maddening!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I agree with many voices out there: dump the web-client and just give us an app (C#-client). With all the work you're going through to try to make it fast and cross-platform compatible, cross-browser compatible, whatever, you could have had great client for Windows (or linux, or whatever) -- but the OS doesn't really matter because most people are going to run it in a VM anyhow! Just make a linux-only version and tell us to run it in a VM -- problem solved (and stable.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
