Lenovo is ready for the future.
Lenovo continues to work closely with Microsoft Corp. to always bring you the best solutions for your business and personal computing, including the new Windows Vista™ operating system.
We're already offering PCs with Windows Vista preloaded. And many Lenovo systems with Windows® XP are Windows Vista capable, meaning they meet the system requirements necessary to support Vista.

Microsoft relationship
Lenovo maintains close strategic and development ties with Microsoft so we can anticipate future operating trends and respond with quality products.
The Lenovo Center for Microsoft Technologies is located just a few miles down the road from Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Wash. Our testing facilities in Kirkland, WA, and on-site at Microsoft help ensure the highest levels of compatibility on legacy and planned systems. |
This allows us to work together through our hardware development cycles while understanding new developments with the Windows operating system.
Other highlights of the relationship include:
- Regular Microsoft Product Briefings: Over 100 Lenovo marketers and developers meet regularly with Microsoft to learn and discuss the latest on Windows Vista.
- Ongoing discussions between development groups ensure the experience for users at launch.
- Lenovo Training Solutions: Lenovo has partnered closely with Microsoft to develop training classes and demonstrations so that our customers can adapt quickly to the latest advances in operating systems and applications.
As technology development companies, Lenovo and Microsoft are often engaged on initiatives to enhance the computing industry. The benefits of this work can be seen in the valuable hardware and software combinations we develop in the areas of security, wireless and migration.
Our close relationship allows us to fine tune our hardware, resolve any compatibility issues prior to the hardware or software release and influence functionality of the operating system. In addition to our collaboration in testing “beta” operating systems, driver quality and Hardware Compatibility Lists, Lenovo performs additional system-level tests to identify and resolve issues and deliver exceptional quality.
Lenovo and Microsoft are team players in personal computing. Lenovo is committed to providing great platforms for Microsoft's operating systems, including Windows Vista.
