MOXA first to offer Vista-certified
multiport serial boards and device servers
Certification
for Microsoft's
Windows Vista™ x86 and x64 has been obtained for MOXA's multiport
serial boards and device servers. This makes MOXA the world's
first Vista-certified provider for this range of products.
To obtain Windows Vista certification, a product must comply
with Microsoft's strict requirements for use with the Windows
Vista operating system.
Vista certification is classified into basic and premium versions:
.
Premium:This is for products that have best-in-class performance and that take advantage of Vista's higher-level capabilities.
.
Basic:This
is for products that meet the minimum Vista standards for
compatibility, reliability, stability, and security.
Microsoft classifies MOXA multiport serial
boards and device networking products as serial port adaptors,
which only need Basic certification for effective operation with
Windows Vista.
The premium level is more suited for high-performance application hardware, such
as motherboards, sound cards, and video cards, which are designed
to showcase Vista's enhanced user interface and security.
