Hotfix for Lync for Mac 2011 14.0.10

This is a hotfix that you can apply to your Mac if you are running 14.0.10. From the folks I have helped deploy this to, it makes a significant improvement.

The funny part about this is that the hotfix comes as a .exe file which is not native to Mac’s. In order to extract it, open a command window and use the Unzip command, i.e. “unzip hotfix.exe”.

One of the first things I noticed that was fixed in this is that screen shares are much faster and smoother. A co-worker reported to me that he sees less crashes with the Mac for Lync client.

The fact that this is a hotfix instead of just a patch makes it so you have to install it manually. In my opinion, every Mac for Lync user should install this.
