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

Browser not supported
