Windows 10 desktops require View Agent 6.2 or later. Windows Server 2012 R2 desktops require View
Agent 6.1 or later.
IMPORTANT View Agent 6.1 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 View Connection Server 6.1.
For descriptions of these features and their limitations, see the View Architecture Planning document.

RDS hosts are server computers that have Windows Remote Desktop Services and View Agent installed.
Multiple users can have desktop sessions on an RDS host simultaneously. An RDS host can be either a
physical machine or a virtual machine.
