Appendix J: Interoperability Solutions

Highlights

Microsoft Windows XP Professional supports a comprehensive set of protocols and solutions to support cross-platform interoperability in a heterogeneous computing environment. Many of the core standards-based protocols that promote interoperability with non-Microsoft operating systems are built into Windows XP Professional. In addition, Microsoft offers specialized products to support comprehensive interoperability with other computing platforms. Because the additional Microsoft interoperability products may be updated as the corresponding non-Microsoft operating systems are released, this appendix provides an overview of the major Microsoft interoperability products and refers to the up-to-date information on the Microsoft Web site.
