What’s New in VMware Horizon Client for Mac 4.4

Like Usain Bolt with a new pair of shoes, the VMware Horizon Client for Mac is faster than ever.

All Horizon Clients now support our faster, more robust update to the Blast Extreme protocol. To take full advantage of it, your administrator will have to be running the latest Horizon agent in the virtual machine. Read more about Blast Extreme Adaptive Transport (or BEAT) here.

Here’s what’s new in VMware Horizon Client for Mac 4.4:

  • Touch Bar Biometrics: For those lucky dogs with the latest MacBook Pros with the Touch Bar, we now support biometric authentication using the Touch Bar.
