Application Verifier is a runtime verification tool for unmanaged code that assists in quickly finding subtle programming errors that can be extremely difficult to identify with normal application testing.
This release of Windows Script brings the improvements in scripting made during the Vista development cycle to downlevel platforms. The primary reason for changing the version number from 5.6 to 5.7 is to simplify servicing and support by synchronizing the versioning to a consistent scheme based on Vista build number. The minor version increase does not indicate significant new features. The scripting feature set is substantially the same as 5.6, with only minor additions. This is the fastest, most robust, and secure release of Windows Script available.
Improvements have been made with JScript, VBScript & Windows Scripting Host. This release also contains fixes prescribed in various Microsoft KB Articles. For complete details, download the Release Notes for Windows Script 5.7
| What: | MSDN Webcast: Windows PowerShell and Microsoft Management Console (Level 200) In this labcast, learn about two powerful management technologies that encompass both the command line and graphical user interface (GUI). Windows PowerShell is the new command shell and scripting language from Microsoft that helps IT professionals and developers achieve greater productivity. Join this session to write cmdlets for Windows PowerShell that enable an operator to retrieve workflow data from the workflow tracking system. In addition, you build a snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) version 3.0 using managed code. MMC 3.0 has greatly improved the managed code model for building management consoles or your applications and services. This lab is based on the DinnerNow sample scenario.

| What: | TechNet Webcast: Application Compatibility Considerations with Windows Vista (Level 200) In this webcast, we focus on application compatibility issues that you may encounter when upgrading to the Windows Vista operating system, and we show you how to address them. We start the session by explaining User Account Control (UAC), which helps reduce the exposure and attack surface of the operating system by requiring that all users run in standard user mode . Although UAC provides many benefits, some applications may be affected by its implementation. We discuss these possible areas of incompatibility and look at how to resolve any problems that may arise. We also cover other areas of possible application compatibility issues, such as the new networking features. Finally, we introduce some of the helpful tools Microsoft provides to assist with application compatibility with Windows Vista. Presenter: Blain Barton, IT Pro Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation |

If you are an application developer, you definitely understand that sometimes it’s a ‘pain’ for your application if users want to install multiple versions of .NET Framework (may be required for some other applications) because you understand the higher version either didn’t exist at the time of coding or ’standard procedures’ were NOT followed for upgrade installations. Some enterprises face a huge challenge to deploy higher versions of .NET (as 2.0) if some applications do not run except the desired .NET version, similar to some Java Applications.
“Luckily, the .NET architecture no longer restricts you to such limitations. You can install multiple versions of components on a single server and benefit from their peaceful coexistence by running them simultaneously. Microsoft refers to this as side-by-side versioning”, writes Zubair Alexander. He further specifies, “It can be done on a Windows 2003 server, as long as you remember which version is which”.
