But in the case you intend to use Large projects with this system it is more than capable. Cons The Multi-Monitor mode needs to be updated to have the choice of choosing certain monitors to display Softdrive while leaving others to display the original Device you used to access Softdrive remotely. Currently the system only allows for all screens to display Softdrive or only One screen.

I keep forgetting that I'm on a virtually machine and not my laptop. It has been very stable for me and the users that we've deployed machines to. Keep up the great work guys! Cons At the moment Softdrive does not have support for microphone or webcam which makes meeting a little bit of a hassle, but they have said that these features will be coming within the next few months.
