New compression technology results in less data being sentover the network. This results in, for example, faster video rendering, file transfer,and printing, and provides a better overall user experience.Zone Preference and Failover. A new policy rule enables you to direct userconnections to preferred zones and set transparent failover to backup zones whenpreferred servers are unavailable. When users open applications, the ZonePreference and Failover policy rule directs their connections to the server with thehighest zone preference and smallest load.Compatibility with Asian Language Web Servers. In the past, some users of Europeanlanguage versions of MetaFrame Presentation Server Clients could not launchpublished applications from a Web Interface running on an Asian language Webserver. This occured when the name of the application as it appeared on the WebInterface contained Asian language characters that the European language clientwas unable to recognize and process.You can now configure the Web Interface to generate ICA files in Unicode, whichincreases the number of non-European language characters clients recognize. ICAfiles are text files that contain parameters and instructions for launching publishedapplications.Extended Unicode Keyboard Support. MetaFrame Presentation Server now supportshandwriting and soft keyboard input. Soft keyboards are software-based, on-screenkeyboards common in handheld devices such as PDAs running on Windows CE,and Tablet PCs.In practical terms, this means that, in addition to the Western language charactersavailable on hardware keyboards, users can input any of over 65,000 non-Westernlanguage characters that are defined in Unicode and available on soft keyboardsonly. This feature also provides support for voice input for users of Windows XPTablet PC Edition.
