  - Without Virtuozzo for Windows 3.5.1 update VZU35121 version 10.1.x broke RDP connection (checked on 10.1.395)
  - Version 10.0.x officially does not support R2 (details from vendor site, more details could be found here link
  - Version 10.0.1.1000 crashes node (Symantec bug lead to memory leak on operations under reparse points)
