Compatibility is something I always look forward to assessing whenever a new public RTM of Windows drops.

For end users, it is a make-or-break prospect: if the new operating system isn’t not compatible with all of the software you currently use, them you just might skip upgrading.

Thankfully, Microsoft knows this.

And, Microsoft always delivers.

How in compatibility in Windows 10 Anniversary Edition?
In a word, excellent.

Over a range of systems at the different firms we use for our baseline testing, Windows 10 has come through.

Incompatible apps were flagged, letting us account for them. That, is a good thing.

Microsoft, take a bow.

Please do not mistake Windows client compatibility for Server compatibility. It should go without saying that you need to do extensive compatibility tests on your servers.
