InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft unveiled new programs and technologies Tuesday to allow partners to prepare products to run on Windows Vista once it is available.
During his keynote at Microsoft's Windows Hardware Engineering Conference in Seattle, Microsoft Senior Vice President Will Poole unveiled a new Certified for Windows Vista logo program so hardware and software companies can label their products "certified" to work with Vista.
Poole also announced a new networking standard called Microsoft Windows Rally, which hardware vendors can build into devices such as digital cameras, wireless access points and other PC peripherals so Vista will immediately recognize them and configure them to work with a PC.
