Bluetooth adapters are ready for Vista

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'.

'Customers can buy our products safe in the knowledge that we have had this approval from day one'.

'Software engineers and testers from the R and D team attended two Vista 'Logo-fest' events in Taipei and Dusseldorf to work with Microsoft engineers on testing their drivers as well as a 'Plug Fest' event in Redmond, Washington (the home of Microsoft's Operations)'.

'Here Brainboxes' products were tested in Vista for compatibility with many other manufacturers' systems', continued Evans.

Brainboxes will have its Vista Drivers on Windows Update, providing a customer experience inline with the 'devices just work' ethos that Microsoft has adopted for the Vista release.

Brainboxes latest signed Release Candidate driver package is available for download from its website.

This driver is suitable for all UC, UP, PM and CC part code serial cards in Windows Vista 32 and 64bit.
