In the midst of all the excitement around the general availability of Windows Vista, it's almost strange to talk about IT Pro & developer tools, but if you are an IT Pro, or developer, this should be pretty exciting too.
Today the final version of the Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0 was
released. If you are already familiar with ACT 5.0 make sure you download the
new bits and the refreshed product guide here. If you want to
learn more about the tools and resources around application compatibility for
Windows Vista - visit Microsoft's TechNet site.
For people new to ACT, it is a single toolset that can help detect, diagnose,
and mitigate compatibility issues found in Windows Vista. Possibly the
coolest feature of this tool is that you can deploy it in your current
environment, Windows 2000 or Windows XP and get an inventory of your
applications and see how they'll work with Windows Vista. Other highlights
include the Standard User Analyzer (SUA) tool; there have been many changes
made to improve overall security and reliability in Windows Vista, and this
tool looks for possible issues resulting from those changes for users running
as Standard Users. There?s also the new Internet Explorer 7 Test Tool to test
apps for use with the latest version of Internet Explorer, and the Setup
Analysis Tool which detects any issues your setup packages might have with
installing on Windows Vista. Finally, IT Pros can use the new and improved
Compatibility Administrator to pull compatibility fixes from a database of
existing fixes and apply them to apps one-by-one, or in predefined groups.
