Fling update: Boomerang 2.0.0 released
VMware labs released a new version for their Boomerang fling, now bringing the version number to 2.0.0. The download size is about 12MB.
Quote taken from the Fling page:
VMware Boomerang is a radically simple client application that allows you to use multiple vSphere servers simultaneously. Simply select “Add a Server…” to connect and login to an ESX server, vCenter server, or View Connection Server and you will be presented with a list of all available virtual machines.
What’s new?
This version has a few bug fixes and the best of all: support for View desktops! For View desktops, you are able to choose between the RDP or PCoIP protocol and launch a remote desktop. Once you have launched a desktop, you will have a fully functional remote desktop experience that matches the existing Windows View Client.
