TechNet Webcast: Application Compatibility Considerations With Windows Vista (Level 200)

Overview The focus of this webcast is on application compatibility issues that may be encountered when upgrading to the Windows Vista operating system, and shows how to address them. The presenter starts the webcast by explaining User Account Control (UAC), which helps reduce the exposure and attack surface of the operating system by requiring that all users run in standard user mode. Although UAC provides many benefits, some applications may be affected by its implementation. The presenter discusses these possible areas of incompatibility and looks at how to resolve any problems that may arise. Finally, the webcast introduces some of the helpful tools Microsoft provides to assist with application compatibility with Windows Vista.
