I was recently looking into alternatives to Windows Intune for ways to check if non-Microsoft application updates are needed, and stumbled into a company called Secunia.

White Paper: Perceived Performance Reloaded
| Today I posted a new whitepaper associated with the Perceived Performance presentation I made at BriForum London yesterday.
