Feedback Site on Virtual Server?

Hi,

is there a feedback site for Virtual Server?

I'd like to suggest to be able to switch off the Host key after having =
installed the Virtual Machine Additions (VMA). It's always in my way =
when I'm using an old version of Visual Studio .NET... If I'm correct a =
Host key doesn't make sense after having VMA installed. Perhaps there =
should be a fallback available through key combination.

I'd also like to suggest to put the configuration links in a DHTML menu =
next to Remote Control on top of the screen so that scrolling host =
windows becomes obsolete. I think there should also be a second menu =
available to be able to easily switch between guest systems within the =
same window.

TIA,
Axel Dahmen

the host key does a lot more than just release the mouse. Without it
you can't send a CTRL+ALT+DEL ot a VM with VMRC or the Admin Page.
There are also other key combinations that use the host key.

Why not just change the host key to something different. There are
instructions in the help file.

Hi Steve,

As VM MVP you ought to know that it's possible to send the CTRL+ALT+DEL =
key combination to the VM through the Remote Control menu at the upper =
right of the menu. This is BTW the only function the host key has =
according to documentation.

Both <SHIFT>: Not an option for 10-finger writers
Left <ALT>: No Menu
Right <ALT>: No "@" and no "=E2=82=AC" on German keyboards
Left <CTRL>: No Clipboard
Right <CTRL>: No document navigation

So what's left? Perhaps a combination of <ALT>+<ALTGR>.
