N You can also use Horizon Client to securely access remote Windows-based applications, in addition
to remote desktops. Selecting an application in Horizon Client opens a window for that application on the
local client device, and the application looks and behaves as if it were locally installed.
You can use remote applications only if you are connected to Connection Server 6.0 or later. For information
about which operating systems are supported for the RDS host, which provides published applications and
published desktops, see the View Installation document.
