Springboard Series Virtual Roundtable – Windows 7 Application Compatibility

mark_russinovichOne of the topics we covered as part of the recent TechNet Windows 7 Tour of Ireland was application compatibility. We gave an overview of XPMode, Applocker, and using shims for applications coded to look for specific OS versions. As great a job Sebastian, Dave and I did in covering these features, Mark Russinovich will do it better! Mark, Technical Fellow in the Platform and Services Division at Microsoft and all round genius of SysInternals fame is hosting another in his Springboard Series of webcasts

Windows 7, is approaching fast and from the application standpoint is very similar to Windows Vista. We’re going to examine Windows 7 application compatibility not only from the perspective of moving from Windows Vista, but also for those coming from Windows XP. Join us to discuss the most common challenges around application compatibility when coming from a legacy operating system, why changes were made along the way, compatibility technologies inside the OS and methods for getting incompatible applications to run on Windows 7. Along the way we share tips and tricks, demonstrate free tools to analyze and fix applications and answer your specific questions about application compatibility live.

In Part 2 of this Virtual Round Table discussion (planned for later this Summer/Fall), we’ll discuss the options and approaches for using virtualization tools In depth to address application incompatibilities – including presentation virtualization, desktop virtualization and application virtualization. We’ll be sending out more details and posting information to www.microsoft.com/springboard for part 2 as the dates are finalized.

As part of the “virtual” experience, you may submit your questions about Windows 7 Application Compatibility to the panel live during the event—or submit questions in advance to vrtable@microsoft.com.
