I chuckle every time I say it, too.

Don't bother arguing. Some people just love the smell of their own farts.

Oh you mean the five mile stretch of the turnpike that leads to/from NYC? Maybe thats why.

Don't forget BES Express, which is aimed for companies like mine that don't want to drop a few grand for maybe 10-20 people that still use Blackberries. You lose some features, but whatever.

As a BES admin, that's not a real-world solution. I don't know the exact statistic of how many people use BIS instead of BES for corporate use, but I'd be willing to say it's around 50%. And that's a shit ton of people who aren't getting data services right now.

Exactly. This is the problem with people. It's not Apple's fault you are making some crazy low salary. Does this mean Ford should lower it's car prices, too? Oh I know! Go take out a car loan that's crazy cheap and you'll never be able to pay on time! Sound familiar?

While to laymen, comparing iMessenger to BBM is perfectly fine... I think prefacing the fact that while both require data to work, BBM still requires BES or BIS as the 'middle-man' to pass the message on. Granted, only other BBM users will also be on BES/BIS, but it's still an additional piece to the puzzle that can…

If I have the blow-it-out-your-ass $11/month insurance through Verizon, I believe that covers it, too. Granted, it will be a tad bit pricier than AC+, but it's month-to-month...

How many BB users do you have? How many of the features in BES that are NOT in BESX do you actually use?

As much as I hate BES/BESX, I can't say I had any problems with it on Exchange 2010. Granted, it's so forking stupid to have another layer of shit inbetween the device and the server, but it at least works.

LOL... BIS... shit was smart 10 years ago.

Obviously, you haven't used the program. PC Monitor has the full gamut of shutdown commands.... you can even schedule it to respond to event alerts to do it automatically.

PC Monitor is great for someone who is responsible for a small shop of Microsoft servers and products (Exchange, Hyper-V, etc) and is the only person on staff.

This is to monitor your COMPUTERS, not your PHONES

Centigrade? Because freezers aren't 0 degrees.

It's hideous, but you get the point: [www.amazon.com]

Ooops never mind! All fixed.

Anyone know why after I got this enabled and using it, upon closing out, I never got it back? Strange!

buy one of those ottomans from Target that have a flip-top and allow for storage. Expensive solution but pretty

Many driver downloads, like ATI's, won't install because they're packaged together and the MSI checks for the OS before it unpackages them.
