Microsoft has kicked
off its
Vista
Capable logo programme which identifies computers capable of running
Microsoft's next-generation operating system and allows users to switch when it
arrives in January 2007.
"Customers buying PCs today that exceed the Windows Vista Capable PC baseline
are more likely to be able to take advantage of the premium experiences in
Windows Vista when they upgrade," a Microsoft spokesman told
vnunet.com.
Qualifying systems need to pass the current certification requirements for
the 'Designed for Windows XP' logo.
They are required to offer 512MB of internal memory, a graphics card that
supports Windows Vista Display Driver model drivers and one of several
qualifying processors listed on the websites of
Intel,
AMD
and
VIA.
Microsoft first announced the logo programme at the
WinHEC conference in April last year.
The software giant is preparing several versions of Vista, and the logo
currently indicates that a system can run Windows Vista Home Basic.
Microsoft plans to release the hardware requirements for more advanced
versions such as Premium at a later stage.
