If you are planning to upgrade to Windows 7, there is a planning and assessment tool for you other than consumer-grade Upgrade Advisor. You need to determine if the existing hardware and software you are relying upon will work with new operating system. Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor will help you if you only need to assess a handful of systems but for larger deployments, Microsoft Assessments and Planning Toolkit 4.0 is the appropriate tool.

MAP is a Solution Accelerator from Microsoft that let you invent and analyze the system in your firm without installing any agent software.
