The Windows Vista Hardware Assessment is an assessment and inventory tool designed to help customers and partners quickly assess their PCs’ readiness for Windows Vista upgrades network-wide with a single networked PC.  Chris Avis sits down and talks with Baldwin Ng, the Product Manager for the Microsoft Solution Accelerators Core Engineering Team, about WVHA and how it is designed to remotely connect to PCs on a network, assess their hardware and device compatibility with Windows Vista, and automatically create comprehensive reports with assessment results and upgrade recommendations for each PC.  They also discuss how the Windows Vista Hardware Assessment does not require the installation of any software agents on PCs to perform the assessment.
