Applicaions used
ADUC
Landesk MC
Outlook
Mozilla Firefox
Spark IM - need to be installed, or some other chat client
Spotify Web Player
RDP
RSAT- need to be installed
Network Connect - need to be installed
Day1
Initial Application setup
Landesk and ADUC - required permission changes for my account on terminal server end to allow authentication
Mozilla - used Sync Now to transfer all settings from my work browser - very easy setup
Outlook - no issues , autodiscovery worked
Desktop background change - not possible, limitation because of not persistent VM?
Spark IM - a bit of lag after install, maybe to refresh the contacts
Audio
Spotify Web Player - player skippeded badly when scrolling web pages
Video
Tested youtube video - 720p video works fine if not in full screen, once full screen - video and audio distortion
Scrolling up and down a page in Firefox while listen to streaming audio is a problem - audio distortion
Other
No RSAT tools- needed to manage Print Server, but will be helpfull to have all tools to do my day to day work
No VPN clint - needed to access servers behind university firewall
 2GB of memory on VM seems limiting in terms of how many applications can be open at the same time
Day 2
Browser retained history, but needed to invoke all tabs after initial log in
Clicked on link in one of my emails - IE open but the 5 page document open and scrolling through it was choppy, at one point just hang completely. After 20sec it was fine
Having Firefox open and browsing while playing music on Spotify - audio distortion, it gets worse when scrolling faster
