VMware has released version 4.5 of their VDI product – VMware View. At the same moment Mike Laverick has released 190 pages of awesomeness "the View 4.5 Guide – Author’s Edition". You can get a free copy if you’re willing to donate a small amount to Mike’s charity UNICEF.
Today I’m releasing my very long guide to View 4.5. I’m kinda loathed to call it a “book” because its no way as detailed as my previous works on Vi3, SRM and vSphere4. For me its still very much a work in progress. With that said, I like to mark product GA days with a release of one my guides, and so that’s why I’m releasing it to day. It runs to some 190 pages of text and graphics, and I’ve been working on it since I joined the View 4.5 Beta Program. It contains 21 “chapters” but I’m not being grand here, sometimes these chapters are just a couple of pages long. I’ve tried to use the chapters to outline the major steps you go through in building out a View environment.
