ASUS is among the original equipment manufacturers that have worked closely with Microsoft on the development of the company’s next iteration of the Windows client. In this regard, Marcus Teixeira, Marketing Team at ASUS, revealed that the computer manufacturer was aiming to provide full compatibility of its hardware products with Windows 7. At the same time, having tested Windows 7 on ASUS machines since the operating system was in the earliest stages of development, the PC maker has also tuned its hardware to offer the best performance experience possible for end users, Teixeira revealed.

“Working at ASUS, I have witnessed, first-hand, the great strides made in technological innovation and exceptional focus that goes into our high-quality products. Instilled with traditional values of hard work and discipline, ASUS continues to build upon its success that has made it far more than just the world’s leading motherboard company,” Teixeira said. “And now with Windows 7 just around the corner, we have already been running beta versions effortlessly on our systems to ensure maximum compatibility and optimized performance.”

ASUS is also one of the OEMs already allowing customers to take advantage of the Windows 7 Upgrade Program. Just as it was the case with the previous Windows release, PC manufacturers worldwide can sell computers preloaded with Windows Vista now and allow customers to upgrade to Windows 7 when it becomes available at no extra cost. Windows 7 will become generally available worldwide on October 22nd, 2009.

“ASUS is thrilled to provide users with a new experience - based on high-speed, innovative ASUS technology and reliable Windows 7. The benefits are numerous. I have had the privilege of using Windows 7 on ASUS notebooks and would recommend it to anyone that’s interested in eye-catching style, ultimate performance, advanced security, and reassured dependability,” Teixeira added.
