VMware has finally released a universal app for Windows 10 PC and mobile devices with its version of VMware Horizon Client. The app enables Windows users who use VMware Horizon 7 for their business to run virtual desktop applications on all devices running Windows 10.

The application is built as a Universal Windows Platform app (UWP) and supports Continuum, which enables Windows users to connect their devices to a larger screen and move around while working.

VMware, which as of this week is a part of Dell technologies, listed the features of its Windows 10 Horizon Client app:

  • ENHANCED USER EXPERIENCE The VMware Blast Extreme protocol used with Horizon 7 is designed and optimized for mobile users. Blast Extreme leverages H.264 hardware decoding to deliver the best remote experience while reducing power consumption.

  • LEAVE THE DESKTOP BEHIND WITH HORIZON HOSTED APPLICATIONS Use VMware Horizon 7 hosted applications, leave the desktop behind and run remote applications with delight experience.

  • WORK SMARTER WITH CONTINUUM Attach your Windows 10 phone to a monitor, mouse and keyboard through wired or wireless accessories to get complete workspace experience without productivity compromise.

This app is only available for users who use VMware Horizon 7 virtual desktop or hosted application and is also a public beta app. You can download the VMware Horizon client from the Windows Store now!
