Multi-tab Browser Support
One of the limitations in the trial release of HDX MediaStream for Flash is that only one tab per browser process can be accelerated. This is a bigger issue in Internet Explorer 7 where all tabs run in the same process. In Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) some tabs run in different process.
But there is a way to force IE8 to run all tabs in separate processes. Follow this link to learn more about how to configure IE8 in such mode.
In the final release of HDX MediaStream for Flash, multiple tabs will be supported in both IE7 and IE8 out of the box.
Is HDX MediaStream for Flash running?
HDX MediaStream for Flash is so seamless that you may not even know it's running. Of course, that's by design. There are, however, a number of ways to know if it is running. My personal favorite is looking at a cyan block of color where the Flash player is shown. The cyan color shows for a little bit before the Flash player shows up.
We also created a diagnostic tool for HDX MediaStream for Flash. This tool can tell you if it is running correctly and if not, it can tell you what could be wrong. The information it collects can be easily sent to our support email alias to help our engineers assist you with your questions.
This tool is open source and can be downloaded here.
It's easy to see how HDX MediaStream for Flash makes it easier for IT to choose XenApp and XenDesktop for application management and desktop delivery while preserving the experience that users are accustomed to. Stay tuned for more in my "Did you know" series on HDX MediaStream for Flash.

You know what will be great? A list of HDX/ICA features that are supported on (linux or Windows CE) thin clients. It is really a paradox to talk about the transformation of desktops and mainly develop features for Windows XP based endpoint devices. Every XenDesktop case what we have is based on the idea that the customer can reduce endpoint maintenance to zero with thin clients.
I believe Flash and multimedia acceleration is not really support on linux thin clients. UPD printing is another issue as it needs Win32 endpoint. I am afraid we will have the same problem with HDX 3D (or Apollo).
If we could reduce the number of "buts" in customer discussions it would be great
Regards,
Okan
