Well for one, you can always clean up, delete unused files or burn them to a CD or DVD for later reference. But the question is which files would you still want?

Whether you are planning to deploy Windows Vista or already did, it is important that you keep security high on your list and make sure that all of your desktops are secured.  So, how do you know if your desktops have Windows Firewall settings turned off?  What if some desktops do not have Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software installed?

To quickly get an answer, please check out the new Security Center assessment feature that we have added to the Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit 3.1 released in June.  It auto-generates a security assessment report on your existing desktops as part of the "Windows Vista hardware assessment" migration report.

Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update

Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update is a package of software updates that address common application compatibility issues in Windows Vista. When you try to install and run certain earlier games or applications in Windows Vista, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

  • The game, the application, or the firmware may not be installed correctly.
  • The game, the application, or the firmware may cause system instability.
  • The primary functions of the game, the application, or the firmware may not work correctly.
This update improves application compatibility in Windows Vista by using the following methods:
  • The update puts a hard block on the application. A hard block prevents an application that is incompatible with Windows Vista from running on the operating system.
  • The update puts a soft block on the application. A soft block provides notification when an application that is incompatible with Windows Vista starts to run.
  • The update improves the application’s functionality in Windows Vista.

•    IBM Rescue and Recovery with Rapid Restore 3.00
