Moving From Windows XP to Windows 7
How do I effectively manage the migration of Windows XP to Windows 7? This is certainly not the first time CIOs have heard this question and won't be the last time you think about it. As the buzz around the lauch of Windows 7 (Oct. 22, 2009) increases, CIOs, Techinical Archtects and others will be asking themselves and members of their organization how to tackle the challenge of OS migration.
With this OS migration more than ever, ensuring a successful transition includes managing the application integration and compatibility across operating systems so that end-users experience a seamless transition.
Application virtualization will help manage this challenge by decoupling the application from the underlying operating system thus allowing it to run across multiple environments while providing a consistent user experience regardless of where the user logs in from. In turn, IT administrators only need to manage one set of applications across multiple operating systems thus reducing the cost and complexity of managing the planned change of an OS migration.
