Application compatibility
A goal for SP1 is that applications that run on Windows Vista will continue to work after SP1 is installed. If you encounter compatibility issues during testing, you should report any bugs that you find.
Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) 5.0 was developed specifically to help you with this process. This toolkit helps you identify and manage your overall application portfolio, which reduces the cost and time involved in resolving issues. ACT 5.0 has several features including a new integrated interface that enables you to manage the entire toolkit from a single location. More importantly, you can run ACT 5.0 in your current environment (which can include Windows operating systems beginning with Windows 2000) so that you can test all operating system configurations before you begin deployment.
ACT 5.0 includes a variety of tools that can help you with testing and the next release of ACT will include a separate node for SP1 test results. For more information and to download ACT 5.0, see Application Compatibility (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=53539).
