It is an exciting day for Mac users now that OS X Mountain Lion is available from the Mac App Store.
One of the great new features in Mountain Lion is Gatekeeper. Gatekeeper verifies the identity of the developer of Mac software downloaded from the Internet and requires that developers sign their software to ensure that the software is not malicious and has not been tampered with.
I am happy to report that the VMware View Client 1.5 for Mac just works with Mountain Lion. It is already signed and is compatible with Gatekeeper.
For weeks, we have been testing the VMware View Client 1.5 on the OS X Mountain Lion GM seed and it works great. Take advantage of Full Screen mode to run your View Desktop and then swipe back and forth to Mac apps as needed.
We are excited that OS X Mountain Lion is here and that our current VMware View Client for Mac is fully compatible.
You can download the current VMware View Client for Mac from the View Client downloads page.

- If you plan to use the RDP display protocol to connect to a remote desktop, verify that the Mac client system has Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac from Microsoft, version 2.0 or later installed.
