“MED-V will be very beneficial as we upgrade more machines to Windows Vista, and eventually to Windows 7, because we’ll be able to run legacy applications that require a previous operating system in Virtual PC images on the new desktops.” TUEV Nord (8,000 employees)* “MED-V saves us time in standardizing our desktop across the multiple entities of the Belgacom group… With thousands of users in our environment, MED-V will significantly reduce the time required for testing and migrating the applications we have.” Belgacom Group “We found that MED-V really solved our application compatibility problems. It allowed us to deploy the applications, where third party vendors were not providing a supported version. Where we used to have hundreds of images, we were able to move to one [Windows] Vista image, and use MED-V to deploy [legacy] applications on top of that” Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (22,000 staff)**
