For the development community do you see agent vs. agentless a big problem? What type of problem do you see?

So.. Wendy (vPro Comms) and I were talking today about wanting to hear your favorite PEBKAC stories within the vPro community, please take a moment and share your favorite one out.

Looking forward to getting a good laugh.. LOL..

    * We are showcasing our Intel vPro Expert Center (along with giving away sick trinckets)

    * We have vPro Pro’s at the booth, along with Intel IT’s vPro owner talking about what they are doing

    * Showcasing ~ 13 ISV tools that are really moving the needle on our vPro platform (Including Anti Theft & Hard Disk Encryption)  

    quick Youtube video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B33ZLDAZHMM

    If you come by the vPro Expert Center booth we are giving out different items each day.   If you would like to see more of the Intel IT experience on vPro, ROI's & tools for vPro = come to the PROS005 classs.  

    Cheers.

This is a welcome addition to the platform, however let's go back to what does each power state mean and the delta between Centrino Pro vs. Centrino 2 with vPro..  

    Let’s start by first describing the power states – check out the following blog by Ajay Mungara http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2007/01/10/all-about-system-power-states-s0-s5/  Ajay goes into detail what each power state means and how it applies to the vPro technology.  

    The next thing is that we look at the centrino pro platform (code name: Santa Rosa) that was our first notebook with Intel vPro Technology.  In Gael’s post she explains with the Santa Rosa platform what the power settings mean. http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2007/07/11/centrinopro-platforms-and-power-packages-what-are-these/  

    *However the journey is not over yet..*  you have to look to the new generation of Centrino Platform with vPro Technology to see the new changes to the power settings.  Here are a few screen shots that Gael put together that showcase in the ME the configuration changes.   Thank you Gael.

    If you are asking yourself what does this all mean?  Well, it means you can have OOB Wireless SX States, basically Power control in wireless mode when the platform has AC (yes, it’s finally here).   

    Screen Shots are over on this blog - http://communities.intel.com/openport/blogs/proexpert/2008/08/05/centrino-2-thank-you-for-catching-up.
