Microsoft has launched a service that helps users find Windows 7-enabled products. Windows Product Scout is a new destination on Windows.com that showcases a selection of products scouted by our team for Windows 7. Every week, Microsoft will feature a new set of products on the home page and will be updating the site every month with more selected products.
Windows Product Scout focuses on products that have earned the “Compatible with Windows 7 Logo”.
These products have passed Microsoft designed tests for compatibility and reliability with Windows 7 including testing for common issues to minimize the number of crashes, hangs and reboots. The team also vetted products based on their experience and focused on products that support key features and technologies in Windows 7 – products that make it easy for you to get the very most out of Windows 7 (features like Windows Touch, Play To, Device Stage). We are also working with software developers and device manufacturers to build a pipeline of the new and exciting products coming in the near future.
A great experience: Windows Product Scout features an engaging user experience that groups products into “clusters”. It is simple to navigate with a mouse and is also touch-friendly. Microsoft have also implemented IE9 support so the site can be a pinned app with jumplist support.
Access to the products: Windows Product Scout gives you easy access to information about the products and how to get them. For every app, Microsoft offer a direct download link from the 3rd party publisher. In one click, you are ready to start your free trial or access a free version of the application. For devices, Microsoft offer a link to purchase the product either directly from the manufacturer or the Microsoft Store. The site also features editorial content from the Windows Blog & CNET about the products.
Discovering what you can do with Windows: The site gives you an easy way to discover a sample of products that support Windows 7 features. You can also click on the category cubes to learn more about specific technologies like Windows Touch, Play To, and others.
For now, please take a look at Windows Product Scout and enjoy the choice.
P.S. Use IE9 Beta for best experience of the website
