We've also updated several of the supported configurations topics to include the following:

Clarified that Fast User Switching is not supported in Configuration Manager.
-
Added software update points and their supported server operating system platforms to the supported configuration documents for Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 and Configuration Manager 2007 SP2.
Additionally, the
Application Compatibility Toolkit Connector in Configuration Manager
is updated to reflect the changes implemented to support operating systems other than Vista. These changes were made to Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.5 and require Application Compatibility Toolkit Connector 2. The toolkit now supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
With the help of our publishing partners, we've been able to correct a publishing problem that some customers reported to us about links not working in some topics and the "Note" icons not displaying correctly. If you find other instances like this, let us know so that we can republish the topic and correct the problem.
Although we can't promise to make the docs perfect for everybody, we are committed to continual improvement. So, keep that feedback coming, and feel free to contact us about anything related to the documentation by using our usual address of
