Application Compatibility for Microsoft has always been a primary area of focus because it has been something that our customers have valued.  Many developers and IT Pros are not familiar with new application compatibility strategies that enable Windows 2000/XP compatibility in modern Vista/Windows 7 environments.  Using a combination of virtualization and management technologies, IT Pros, developers, and end-users can have seamless access to all applications whether they require Windows XP or webapps that require IE6.  Technologies discussed include Terminal Services Gateway, Application Virtualization (App-V), Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V), Expression Web SuperPreview, and Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT).
