Microsoft rolls out Windows XP integration tool
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Hoping to speed the integration of Windows XP into corporate environments, Microsoft on Tuesday will announce updates to a set of tools that helps administrators reduce the time it takes to deploy the operating system by streamlining the process for application compatibility testing. The newly improved tools, most notably the Windows XP Application Compatbility Toolkit (ACT) 2.6 and the Line Security Analyzer, are part of the company's New Desktop Deployment Portal Web site. The Web site is also a place where users can access other tools and resources to evaluate and deploy Windows XP and Office XP. Microsoft will make the Web site-based tools available through a new CD-ROM called the Desktop Deployment Customer Toolkit CD.
