Reading Time: 4 minutesAs written, VMware has announced and released the new VMware View 5.1 version with several improvements. One difference is that in this version the upgrade path is a little more complicated compared to previous upgrade procedures (see VMware View 5.0.1 upgrade path and Upgrade path to vSphere 5 – The View 5 part) due to some changes and a limited compatibility matrix!
