If you haven't already, I strongly suggest you read my previous blog entries on this subject. This avoids me having to re-hash what I've already said! They are:

So, in the fruity corner we have the Apple TV. In the red, green and yellow corner we have the Google Chromecast. Which is better? There's only one way to find out!
Ahem, sorry.
I've owned an AppleTV since just after Apple released the second generation iOS version so probably for two and a half years. It's been sitting underneath my TV ever since doing stirling service streaming from Netflix and playing content streamed from my iPhone. Google announced general availability of the Chr

Assuming that you're interested in this, I would suggest that you read my previous three blog posts first. This will put this new post into some context and it saves me having to write it all again! Links to the previous posts:

So, At the end of my last blog entry I asked which agent is better: The Microsoft or the Parallels one? This isn't really very clear cut but lets try to answer the question.
So in the blue corner, we have the Microsoft native client. Its advantages are:
Native Solution
On the whole, easier to create and add applications to the ConfigMgr console
A Client side GUI
Disadvantages are:
Treats the Macs as mobile clients so therefore requires the use of HTTPS secured MPs and DPs
No
I actually started writing this just after I finished my last blog entry. However, a nasty bout of the flu and other things have got in my way since then and I just hadn't gotten around to finishing this post. Well, no more!
Introduction
In Part One of this blog, I talked about the new Mac client for Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 (God, that's a mouthful!). I talked about my impressions of it and how well it's been working so far. I also mentioned that Parallels have
I've mentioned on the forums a few times that we're in the planning stages of implementing System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1. I'm now at the end of the planning stage and am moving towards implementation.
During the planning stages, we have been evaluating the Mac component of the product. My colleague @Roberto has written a little about it on his blog at It's Always My Problem. You should go read it. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Have you read it yet?
Really?
OK, I'll contin
I think I've just found probably the most poorly written recipe I've ever seen.
SORTED - Food, Recipes, Videos and banter
Lets go through it:

Considering the site and videos appear to be British, measuring in cups is odd. Seems like they're pandering to Americans but OK. However, assuming a serving of 75g rice per person, a 250ml cup of risotto rice is far too much! 3/4 is more like it.
Now it's starting to get annoying. How big a jar of roaste
I realise that this may not be an especially fashionable point of view on this and other boards (but it will be on certain ones!) but I like Apple. I've owned Apple computers since around 2008 since it became clear that Vista was a complete train wreck and I wanted something at home which I wasn't going to need spending hours buggering about with. Anyway, I bought an iMac and haven't looked back since. In the time since then, I've become a bit of a fanboy and I've bought an Apple Time Capsule (S
