During the recent Deployment Deep Dive on Windows 7 Community Tour there were a few questions on how best to tackle an application compatibility problem. There are a number of ways you can go about it from new apps, to shims to virtualization. The other day Microsoft and ChangeBASE announced a partnership that will allow you to asses and remediate application compatibility issues with Windows 7 automatically. You can read the announcement here but I urge you to take a look the following:
Microsoft and ChangeBASE are working together to offer you a simple online solution that assesses and automatically remediates applications for Windows 7 compatibility at the press of a button. This solution uses a subset of the full AOK tool from ChangeBASE, a market leader in automated application compatibility and remediation software. AOK4SMB is an application compatibility tool developed to help small and midsize businesses to get their applications ready for Windows 7.
Whether you are about to upgrade your PCs to Windows 7 Professional or already running Windows 7, this solution can help your business continue to run smoothly.
You can try the tool for free until the end of July 2010 so head over to http://aok4smb.com and check it out.
