Re: New Microsoft Security Tool for developers

[Andreas Saurwein <saurwein () uniwares com>]

Sorry to interrupt your joy, but that tool is actually pretty old. Some 
years ago praised as "the tool" to migrate apps to Windows 2000 and ensure 
that no obsolete APIs where used.


http://www.microsoft.com/windows/appcompatibility/default.mspx

Its part of the "Windows Application Compatibility toolkit" (ACT), but it 
does not do much in regards to secure programming. Its all about 
"Compatibility" not security.


Cheers
