Get your Apps Ready for Windows 7!

 

Microsoft has launched an exciting program called the Windows 7 ISV Remediation Workshop to assist our valued ISV Partners with ensuring application compatibility with Windows 7 , and we would like to extend an invitation to your company to participate! In addition to ensuring your application runs well on Windows 7, the workshop will help you prepare for “Compatible with Windows 7 logo” certification.

We will help to identify any potential blocking issues and suggest both remediation paths and architectural pattern improvements where appropriate. We highly suggest that you spend time viewing the 60-minute online Windows 7 Compatibility training at msdev.com and review the Windows 7 Application Quality Cookbook prior to attending the workshop.
  Please bring your applications to be loaded on a secure Windows test platform in a private developer lab environment for testing and debugging application issues . Participants will have the opportunity to test their application for compatibility with the most recent publicly available version of Windows 7.

If you need a server, it would be ideal if you can bring a fully configured server on your own machine, which we can plug directly into our local network.
  You will walk out of these workshops with at the very least a thorough understanding of compatibility issues and any steps that you’ll need to take to ensure Windows 7 compatibility. We’ll also provide you with the opportunity to submit your application to the Windows 7 Compatibility Center (where we encourage all of our customers to go to find compatible applications) and we will assist you to achieve “Compatible with Windows 7” certification if desired.
