Do you remember when Microsoft promised that application compatibility wasn’t an afterthought in the development of Windows XP as it was with its predecessor? Or when Microsoft’s number one ship criteria was that “applications will just work” even though, on average, more than one out of five (21%) applications weren’t compatible? Do you recall when…
With each new release of Windows 10, Microsoft adds new features and security enhancements — and with those come new issues for IT teams. With virtualization becoming the norm for organizations, from large enterprises down to mid-size businesses, interactions and dependencies on multiple systems within an IT landscape can become mission critical, having effects on…
For many, the next 12-24 months mark an important milestone for their application packaging and testing strategy as they move from traditional, manually-driven application packaging to a more automated and continuous process to satisfy the demands of their faster-than-ever evolving IT environment. Now that most Windows 10 migrations are well under way or completed, many enterprises…
On November 19th, 2018, Microsoft announced its acquisition of Atlanta, Georgia-based FSLogix for an undisclosed sum to extend the company’s virtualization capabilities and provide an even better virtualized Windows and Office experience delivered on Microsoft Azure — a mission that the start-up shared since its inception in 2012.

The internet holds a wealth of information, but sometimes it is hard to discern which information sources are reputable, helpful, and contain new insights worth the time to read the entire article — and which are just regurgitating other people’s ideas to put out content. To save you the time and effort, I have compiled…
Every line of business has its own unique lingo which often makes it hard for “outsiders” to follow a conversation. As an executive, whether you are a CEO, COO, CFO, or even a CIO, application packaging and testing terms can seem like a completely different language with their three and four letter acronyms. Today, I…
When I talk to enterprise IT managers, I am always surprised how few organizations are centralizing their application management — especially now that we have to test a large portion of our application portfolio on a monthly basis. Sure, the initial overhaul is tedious, boring, costly, and takes weeks if not months. It also requires…
Since the introduction of Windows-as-a-Service, Microsoft has been actively promoting a way to create universal applications that could leverage Windows 10 platform capabilities across all Windows devices: the Universal Windows Platform.
