If you use Windows Virtual PC you will see “integration features” being mentioned. These are enabled once you have the latest integration components installed, and can be enabled or disabled at will – but what are they?
When the integration features are enabled we are actually using Remote Desktop to connect to the operating system running inside the virtual machine. This allows us to take advantages of many of the technologies built into remote desktop:
- The ability to display seamless Windows from the virtual machine
- The ability to redirect smart cards and printers to the virtual machine
- The ability to share folders to the virtual machine
