3 vsphere Client: Faster Performance, Improved workflows I'm really loving what you are doing with the HTML Client. It is exactly what I always wanted in a [vsphere] web client. Love at first sight!!!! One thing screenshots won't show you is how FAST it is. The biggest drawback of the web client has always been how slow it is, going from page to page. The fling is insanely fast, even faster than the installed client. There's only a couple of things you can't do in the HTML client so every now and then we have to drop back to the Flash client but for the most part that's what we've moved to. It s been great. It s easy. I want to say thank you for the hard work you and your team have put in. I've loved watching the Fling come to life and now use it daily. Check out VMware vsphere Client and SDK Fling: 3
