Yuk. What is with this new trend of web apps? I avoid them like a plague.
Zero installation
False, in this case: it requires a huge plugin to work, and it doesn't work.
Then it's not a classic BBI. What plug-in is it? Flash?
The "vmware server 2 beta remote console plug-in". No it is not flash. It is itself.
Zero management Zero update handling
Ditto.
How so?
The plugin installation files are loaded on to your local VMware server that is hosting the VMs. The new main vmware server 2 admin interface is a Web 2.0 thing. I assume it is either java script or flash. Either way it has just worked for me on the machines I've tried. But when you try to access the 'console" of your VM, it requires you to install the plug-in from the vmware host server. This has failed for me the 4 times I tried it.
