Upgrading to BES 5.1:
The majority of all BES deployments are now upgraded to BES 5.1. Customer
feedback is very positive across the board for the performance improvements
and for the new features in BES 5.1. If you have not upgraded to BES 5.1
yet, it is highly recommended that you do so as soon as it is feasible.
 
 
BigFix AntiPest and Client Manager for Spyware Tools BETAs are finishing up:
The two new AntiSpyware solutions from BigFix are nearing completion of the
BETA. Currently, the BETAs are active in several dozen BES deployments.
There are almost 50,000 computers that have been using the BigFix
AntiSpyware solutions in the BETA. Overall there is very positive feedback.
We expect that they will be fully released by the middle of next month.
