"We were
compatible in less than a month, we didn’t need to resort to
workarounds, and the experience was actually delightful. More than
merely being compatible with Windows 7, Front Runner helped us to take
real advantage of Windows 7 to make our software more useful to our
customers." Richard
Jorgenson, Awareness Communications Technology.
But that is not all. Once your application is compatible, you will
receive marketing benefits to promote your compatibility, including a
press release, Front Runner stamp, and marketing funding for a Ready-to-Go Campaign.
