The Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) 5.5 helps customers understand their application compatibility situation by identifying which applications are compatible with the Windows 7 RC and Windows Vista® operating system and which require further testing. ACT helps customers lower their costs for application compatibility testing, prioritize their applications, and deploy Windows more quickly.

Yeah Vivek, This tool will be handy to make many legacy appz work on OS.

ACT gives you a detailes report on applications which gets deployed as a part of your network., analyses the usage and monitors each error and provides a community interface for results and fixes. This tool also provides many compatiblity fixes for the applications. For eg: if an application is made so that, it works only on Windows Xp. We do have the compatiblity fixes for the application to perform.
