StartIsBack.com - real start menu in Windows 8 it says it doesnt install any runtimes or services like the other alternatives suck as the stardock start8 etc, i tried to run procmon to see if it just modifies registry or settings etc but it logs you out as soon as it installs so i cant tell. It doesnt seem to be free but its the best one ive tried so far for sure.

Hasten to add, that I love it now ive 'fixed' it.

Im running windows 8 my desktop and on my tablet. on my desktop i have had to install a 3rd party app, and use it solely in desktop mode, never entering the Metro interface. On the tablet, i use it in metro mode, and never drop to the desktop IMO they have messed up by not offering a toggle switch to set which mode to work in.

No snow here today...

@Soulfish Can the fortinet devices do app control, as their web filtering seemed great when we had a demo?

we had one on demo a few weeks back. They told us it couldnt do spam filtering which is pretty much useless for us. We're probably going to go with a fortinet, the FortiOS 5 looks great.

is there an attached photo its not showing in either IE10 or Firefox 17 on windows 8

yep just add the dn.com zone and add an A record for http://www.dn.com or whatever and it will work

it always has full reception when in the UK, Im always mainly around city centers. I thought it might be to do with the cell towers, perhaps polling more often or something?

Ive got a HTC HD2 that Ive put various flavours of Android on over the years. Here in australia where the phone was purchased originally it works fine, battery lasts about 20 hours. Whenever I'm in the UK though, and I put in either an 02 sim or a Tesco sim, using it with the exact same settings (gps, data, etc) enabled as when i use it in Australia, the phone life plummets dramatically and im lucky to get 4 -6 hours out of it. Is there any technological reason why this is the case?

they presented to us this week and it looks good, kind of like a sccm+. It also includes Antivirus (trend micro i think) they seemed to reckon it wouldnt cost much more than what we pay for sophos alone, so interested to see what they quote us for.

Is anyone using this? IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager - Built on BigFix technology

thanks for the reply, great idea. Havent had a chance to do any of it yet as it will require out of hours work and I wont get a chance till Saturday or Sunday. Will let you know how it goes.
