| Epson Improved Vista Connectivity |
Epson has announced that it has entered into a licensing agreement with Microsoft Corporation
to join the Windows Rally Program. Using Microsoft Windows Rally technologies, Epson plans to
launch a series of products featuring advanced connectivity with Windows Vista.The Windows Rally Program is a technology licensing program offered by Microsoft to hardware manufacturers, software developers and service providers. Participants in the program have access to Microsoft Windows Rally technologies, which comprise a range of functions for network-connected devices. Using devices compatible with Windows Rally technologies, program participants can offer simple and reliable wireless LAN configurations protected by solid security. The technology also enables software to check the status of network-connected devices and detect such devices for simple transmission of data. Epson is advancing the compatibility of its products with Windows Rally technologies, particularly in the WSD*1 field, where Epson developers work closely with Microsoft right from the stage of drawing up product specifications. At the WinHEC 2006*2 conference held in Seattle last year Epson launched and exhibited a multifunction printer and external network device compatible with Windows Rally technologies, conducting a demonstration in one of the conference sessions. Epson will actively enhance the compatibility of its products with Windows Rally technologies to offer secure and simple network-connected devices.
