We have recently released the animation-light mode of the IT Manager III: Unseen Forces for the improved performance, check it out here http://itmanager3.intel.com/en-gb/default.aspx?iid=ENGSHORT+unseenforces&. You will need to select the animation mode from the options menu once you log in the game.
We are planning quite a few updates to the game in 2010 so stay tuned!
