[QUOTE="edokid, post: 1543962, member: 259418"] Hey everyone, I got my 11" Macbook Air yesterday and love it. The only work application that I really need is IE though, our applications don't work on anything else as it's Siebel and needs some stuff in IE. I have Parallels but I find my battery takes a hit when using it even though I have Windows 7 set to only 512mb ram. I'm on my first battery charge so trying to kill it but I notice it will say like 3 hours 50 minutes remain, then after Parellels is running 5 minutes even doing nothing, it will be 2 hours 45 minutes or so. Again might be due to it being the first time killing the battery. Anyway, what I was wondering was are there any providers or ways to run IE over a remote desktop? Almost like Citrix etc, so not where it's running the entire Windows desktop but just Internet Explorer? I know it can be done with Windows Server and terminal services etc but looking for something that a one user setup could do. Was wondering if anyone knew of even a hosting provider or something that offers this almost like OnLive Desktop, or any options. I don't mind paying for a solution just wanted to see if there were any options out there. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
