[ovirt-users] oVirt Console on Windows 7

[Brett Holcomb]

I tried Chrome and it worked fine right out of the box.  All I had to do 
was download the file first (because Chrome is stupid about that - way 
to go Google) and then right click on the file in the bottom download 
bar and select Always open files of this type and it found and used 
remote-viewer.  If I delete the vv file and open another vm console it 
works fine.  Chrome is also more responsive and faster.  Bye Firefox - 
this was the last application that needed you.
