[ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.2.0 First Beta Release is now available for testing

Tue Oct 31 17:50:16 UTC 2017

Agreed. I use the right click functionality all the time and will miss it. With 70+ VMs, I may check status in a mobile interface, but I’m never going to use it for primary work. Please prioritize ease of use on Desktop over Mobile!

In real day by day operation nobody uses mobile devices to do their deployments and manage their large environments. If having both options where you can switch between then is nice, but if something should prevail should always be Desktop. We are not talking about a Stock Trading interface or something you need that level or flexibility and mobility to do static things anytime anywhere.
