Brainboxes has been working closely with Microsoft for the past 18 months to ensure that when its latest operating system, Windows Vista, is released customers will be able to seamlessly move over with full confidence that their serial requirements will be met. Although Vista will be available to consumers by the end of January 2007, the RTM (Release To Manufacturing) release version of Vista for manufacturers, occurred in early December.
To meet this release date Brainboxes was ready with a Microsoft approved and signed driver for both the 32 and 64bit versions.
'We have worked very hard over recent months to ensure that customers purchasing our products will be able to use them in the latest Windows Vista PCs', said Stephen Evans, Managing Director of Brainboxes.
'To ensure the best user experience Microsoft do not allow installation of products without approval into the 64bit version of Vista'.
