I'd also be missing the ability to plug in USB devices, which is very central to the work I do. RDP has some device passover support, but it's not even close to being able to replace vmware's USB support.

You are talking about redirecting USB via workstation as well? eg. connecting USB devices remotely to your VM? (asking as normal USB pass-through doesn't work for a shared VM, see [0]) I hadn't even considered that. Connecting USB devices remotely works well with vSphere, but never tried that with Workstation. They are going to completely removing the hostd engine from VMware Workstation. That would indeed also include that part and it is most likely not easy to get that working without hostd. [0] http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2005585 http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2005585

  Not a bad suggestion, but the host running the VM would have to run Linux in that case, not Windows.
