Compatibility
If I have some time on my hands I will try to make a bootable stripped Linux CD that holds this client, or maybe a USB key is a better idea…. let me think about it.
Been using this at work and noticed it times out quicker than the windows client when waiting for a vm to power on.
You generally need to kill the Apps and relaunch a few minutes later.
Also mmr does appear to be working. At least when logging into a vista vm.
