Epson has announced that it has entered into a licensing agreement with
Microsoft 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, secure, wireless LAN configurations. The
technology also enables software to check the status of network-connected
devices and detect such devices for simple transmission of data.
