Eager to avert the incompatibility debacle that marred the Windows Vista launch, when many products did not work properly with Vista if at all, Microsoft has been working for months to make sure that hardware peripherals and software makers sport "Compatible with Windows 7" stickers -- and mean it.
The point is to ensure that as of the first day of consumer availability -- October 22 -- there will be plenty of hardware and software products that work with Windows 7.
To date, according to a post on the Windows 7 Team Blog on Wednesday, Microsoft has already certified more than 6000 products to work with Windows 7.
