    Just wanted to add, as the author of most of the content on that KB article smiley, that the reason the Mac client can't be a GUP is related to the fact that they are not designed to receive content from the SEPM through the heartbeat process--not Mac content, and certainly not Windows content. Mac clients get their definitions through LiveUpdate only.
