Microsoft Japan ties with 7-Eleven on Vista printing

InfoWorld | at | by Mike

Microsoft's Japan unit will offer users of its new Vista operating system the ability to print out digital photographs through kiosks in thousands of Seven-Eleven Japan Co. Ltd. convenience stores across Japan, the companies said Monday.

The service is tied into the photo album software in Windows Vista and begins with a user selecting the photos to be printed.

The photos are then uploaded to a server operated by Fuji Xerox Co., which manufactures and operates the machines in 7-Eleven stores.
