    Windows Vista Hardware Assessment 1.0 Released!

     
    The Windows Vista Hardware Assessment 1.0 has just been released!  If you haven't heard about this network-wide assessment tool for Windows Vista, you should definitely check it out, download and test drive it.
     
    This is a tool that consists of three different components including an agent-less inventory engine, analytics engine to assess Windows Vista readiness around hardware and device compatibility.  In addition, it automatically generates a set of network-wide readiness reports for each in a form of Microsoft Word and Excel documents.

    If you are thinking about Windows Vista migration and want to know how many of your existing PCs will be capable of running Windows Vista to only very minor upgrades, download this tool now and see it for yourself.
     
    For an in-depth look, I've posted a detailed blog here on the Windows Vista Team Blog.

    Is your business ready for Windows Vista upgrades?  Are you wondering if your existing PCs' hardware and device drives compatible with the new OS?
     
    Check out this new tool called Windows Vista Hardware Assessment.  It is a network-wide assessment tool that inventory and report on the readiness of your PC hardware.  The best part is its agent-less inventory engine that does not require any use of software agents and it aggregates the reporting for you automatically in Word and Excel.  Imagine doing PC readiness tests from a single PC that's networked with the rest of your network instead of doing it one by one and repeat that a few thousands of times!
