The challenge of effectively managing the planned change of migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7 has become more prevalent as the general availability of Windows 7 nears. 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.
