Legacy Host compatibility
-------------------------
The Windows Host Application is no longer the recommended server implementation.
It is missing many of the features available in the Looking Glass IDD, such as:
* Lack of video capture overhead;
* Usage without a monitor or dummy plug connected;
* Automatically resizing the guest to fit the client application viewport;
* HDR support; or
* Usage in virtual machines without GPU acceleration.
B7 is the last recommended version of the legacy host application for users who
require its non-capture mouse input workflow. Use the complete matching B7 stack
for that workflow rather than mixing B7 and current components.
