ENT News | at | by Mike

To accompany the release of Windows Vista, Microsoft yesterday announced the final release of a toolkit for assuring that applications will run correctly under the new system.

Microsoft's Application Compatibility Toolkit version 5 is designed to identify compatibility issues when using Vista and IE7 -- for instance, which applications have problems with Vista's new User Account Control feature. It can also be used on Windows XP Service Pack 2 to help identify compatibility issues when using Internet Explorer 7.
