R2 desktops require View Agent 6.1 or later. Windows Server 2016 desktops require Horizon Agent 7.0.2 or
later.
I View Agent 6.1 and later and Horizon Agent 7.0 and later releases do not support Windows XP
and Windows Vista desktops. View Agent 6.0.2 is the last View release that supports these guest operating
systems. Customers who have an extended support agreement with Microsoft for Windows XP and Vista,
and an extended support agreement with VMware for these guest operating systems, can deploy the View
Agent 6.0.2 version of their Windows XP and Vista desktops with Connection Server 6.1.
For descriptions of these features and their limitations, see the View Architecture Planning document.
