Impact of Application Compatibility

ISVs or CustomersWhere to start to migrate existing application codeGet relevant informationand guidance

New in 2010! 64-bit Code Compatibility

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt sometimes are larger issue than the real incompatibility itself

Knowing exactly what application compatibility problems the organization will have once Office is deployed

Where to concentrate test efforts

Office 2010 64-bit Guidance

Office 2010 64-bitOffice 2010 will be delivered as:

Native 32-bit Applications (As Before) Native 64-bit Applications (New!)Office Server products delivered only on 64-bit

32-bit: Highly CompatibleAs usual, high degree of compatibility with solutions built on previous versions of Office

64-bit: Humongous CapacityAbility to open Excel and Project files > 2GBMigrating custom solutions to 64-bit requires special attention

Office 2010 64-bit64-bit Office is an investment in the future.Very stable!Performance: 64-bit vs. 32.bit

No noticeable difference.Advantages of 64-bit vs. 32-bit?

The ability to open Excel and Project files > 2GBDisadvantages of 64-bit vs. 32-bit…

Requires significant Testing and Remediation efforts, which could lead to delayed deployments.

DOCUMENT COMPATIBILITY

Document CompatibilityRecommended versions for stellar compatibility:

Office 2007 SP2Office 2003 with the latest Compatibility Pack

Team worked hard to preserve documentcontent – general principles:

Preserve document content and “rehydrate” (i.e.,Excel Slicers and Sparklines, sections in PowerPoint)Make new features “read-only” (i.e., picture effectsin PowerPoint)Map new effects to the existing in down version (i.e. transitions in PowerPoint and new numbering formatin Word)

A Few GotchasEditing a content with “preserved” new feature in older versions will most likely destroy new feature when doc returns to 2010In some cases we had to remove the new effects. Examples:

Word: New WordArt Effects are removed permanentlyExcel: New IS8601 Dates are saved as serial datesPowerPoint: Video with effects will play but willlook square
