Microsoft has updated it's overview document on compatibility strategies for dealing with Windows 7 application issues.
The document is worth a read as it sums up all of Microsoft's current strategies for mitigating application compatibility issues in a single document. Note: for you technical people out there, the price for all this information in one place is that all that compatibility information is delivered at a pretty high level. So, consider it an executive overview.
The document covers topics that include;
- Increasing Reliability
- Enhancing Security
- Improving Performance
- Advancing Usability
- Removing Legacy Components
In addition, it delivers a high level introduction to the following Microsoft technologies;
- Windows Virtual PC
- Windows XP Mode for Windows 7
- Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP)
- Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V)
- Application Virtualization (App-V)
I suggest that the real meat of the document is included in the "Removing Legacy Components" section, which is surprisingly complete and offers a moderate level of detail.
You can find the document here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=6893c7ce-5c75-45ae-9b6f-18f202420f2b
Quite amusingly, the document publishing date is September 2009. So, this may be a mistake, and you probably should download a copy sooner rather than later.
