Brainboxes, has been working closely with Microsoft for the past 18 months to ensure that now its latest operating system, Windows Vista™, has been released its customers can seamlessly move over with full confidence that their serial requirements will be met.

Windows Vista was available to consumers from end of January 2007, but the RTM (Release To Manufacturing) release version of Windows Vista, for manufacturers, occurred in early December. To meet this release date Brainboxes were ready with a Microsoft Approved and Signed driver for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. 

“We have worked very hard over recent months to ensure that customers purchasing our products can 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 Windows 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&D team attended two Windows Vista ‘Logo-fest’ events in Taipei and Düsseldorf to work with Microsoft Engineers on testing their drivers as well as a ‘Plug Fest’ event in Redmond WA (the home of Microsoft’s Operations). Here Brainboxes’ products were tested in Windows Vista for compatibility with many other manufacturers’ systems,” continued Evans. 

Brainboxes have its Windows Vista Drivers on Windows Update, providing a customer experience inline with the ‘Devices Just Work’ ethos that Microsoft has adopted for the Windows Vista release. 

Brainboxes latest signed Release Candidate driver package is now available for download.

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