Yeah, I thought it was pricey too, but ease of use might mean staff actually use it without giving me another job. We are also planning to use old kit, just buying cheapo screens for now to save cash. Management also wanted the screensaver option- more work for me to sort out no doubt. Why were you looking at hosting it? Not confident they could do it, or was hosting expensive, because we got it included as a 'bundle price', which may or may not mean we have been had.

Yeah, we have no problems with rollout via GPO, even large apps, Office and various Matchware stuff goes out ok. Make the changes at night if you are not sure and force a reboot to give yourself maximum time, otherwise first startup in the morning kills the network dead almost.

Someone told us about teemlink www.litscreens.com, it seems to do what we want. They use a hosted model so upgrades and updates are taken care of. They were at BETT with NEC so they must be ok. Not tied into certain hardware like others either so we can reuse old kit.
