The white paper provides readers with the information necessary for optimizing and maintaining the performance of Microsoft Dynamics CRM clients. New or revised content in the December 2011 refresh includes additional detail about:
§ Software requirements (IE 9 specifically)
§ Computer power settings
Security software and virus scanning applications
