Libraries give Vista apps a Windows 7 look

InternetNews | at | by Mike

Microsoft on Tuesday released the final code for a set of libraries that enables developers to write applications for Windows 7 that will also preserve the Windows 7 look and feel when the application is run on Windows Vista.

The Platform Update for Windows Vista is a free download from Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services and the Microsoft Download Center. There is also a similar package for deployment on Windows Server 2008.

The announcement of the code libraries came in a post on the Windows 7 Team Blog.
