Planning a Rich User Experience 2
View provides the familiar, personalized desktop environment that end users expect. For example, on some
client systems, end users can access USB and other devices connected to their local computer, send
documents to any printer that their local computer can detect, authenticate with smart cards, and use
multiple display monitors.
View includes many features that you might want to make available to your end users. Before you decide
which features to use, you must understand the limitations and restrictions of each feature.
