[BESAdmin-Announcements] Power Management Update: New Mac OS X Features Released

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

We are pleased to announce that we have published an update to the Power 
Management site to take advantage of the new Mac OS X power tracking 
inspectors coming in the 8.1 platform release. 

The 8.1 Mac inspectors enable customers to track time in standby, active, 
idle, and off states on Mac machines, making Windows and Mac support for 
power tracking equivalent.
