isvappcompat.comIn anticipation of the release of Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2008 R2, Microsoft wants to give companies who produce online applications the ability to check compatibility before these technologies are released. The goal of the program is to reduce incompatibility issues that users who make the transition may face.
Applications compatible with Windows Vista should see a straightforward approval process. To get the process started or to find out more information, please see the following site: [6].
