Many of you have signed up for the beta, and your input has been tremendously helpful. It has been almost a month since we posted a beta for download, and this was because we needed to re-write a major section of the agent to get the performance we were looking for. I will tell you right now...it was worth the trouble.
This one particular Vista machine would show about 15% constant CPU time...and sluggish response on the remote side. After our changes:
Yep. Zero. Now...this is a decent system. Our old laptop from 1999 with Windows XP...still shows about 8%, but still very snappy.
This means we can start moving forward. We have overshot our original release date by many months, so this means to get a final version out soon we will need to cut back on proposed features.
Next Wednesday, October 1st, we will be releasing a major beta. It will be near a production level release. It will have all of the current features of 2.8, plus:
-It will be Vista, 2008, and x64 Compatible
-Users will have the ability to show a "An Administrator is connected" window at all times
-Users will be able to request for permission before connecting
I know some of you will be disappointed that many of the features shown before will not make it into this release - not to worry. Part of our team will still be moving forward at full pace to get those finished. In the meantime we can get a 3.0 out soon that will allow customers to connect to their 2008, and Vista machines.
If you are not a member of the beta program, or we missed your last request to be a member (Sorry)...send an email to support@intelliadmin.com and just put beta in the subject.
