Later this week, Microsoft technical fellow Mark Russinovich (pictured) and other industry folks will host a virtual roundtable on the subject of, well, virtualization.

Specifically, the event is called Windows 7 Application Compatibility Part 2: Virtualization, and it's scheduled for this Thursday, Sept. 24., at 9 a.m. PT.

What's on the agenda? Here's an overview:

Hear from a panel of experts how virtualization tools can help you with application compatibility concerns whether you're migrating from Windows Vista or Windows XP.
