Hoping to accelerate the adoption of Vista for businesses, Microsoft on Tuesday unveiled tools that will help companies deploy the new Windows client OS, including software that allows older versions of Windows to run virtually alongside Vista.
The company released six tools designed to help business customers migrate from previous versions of Windows to Vista, which was widely released on Jan. 30. The tools are the Virtual PC 2007, Microsoft Solution Accelerator for BDD (Business Desktop Deployment) 2007, the Microsoft ACT 5.0, the Windows Vista Hardware Assessment 1.0, and two volume activation tools -- Volume Activation Management Tool and Key Management Service for Windows Server 2003.
