RCG Holdings Limited (AIM: RCG), a leading global provider of integrated biometrics and RFID security solutions, is delighted to announce that its recently launched product, the FxGuard Windows Logon, has qualified for the “Certified for Windows Vista Program” set up by the Microsoft Corporation.

The software has undergone vigorous pre-set examinations, which have confirmed its compatibility with the Microsoft Windows Vista platform.  FxGuard Windows Logon is the first product of its kind in the market to receive certification for its compatibility with Microsoft Windows Vista, thus signifying recognition of RCG’s product development effort by Microsoft, RCG’s partner and a leading technology corporation.

FxGuard Windows Logon, RCG’s unique facial authentication software combined with data security features, is a proprietary product of RCG Holdings Limited.  RCG is currently applying to protect its intellectual property, which protection it expects imminently.

RCG is also delighted to announce that ongoing negotiations with several international notebook computer manufacturers have revealed significant interest for software integration into their own line of products.  The worldwide launch into the consumer sector has been extremely successful and, following the certification, RCG is in advanced negotiations with leading notebook and IT equipment manufacturers and distributors, including FTec, NEC, Achieva and TLG electronics, to integrate the software as a bundle with their product offerings.

Dr. Raymond Chu, CEO and Chairman of RCG, commented: “Microsoft Windows Vista is the newest Microsoft Windows platform to date and is rapidly gaining popularity across vertical industries, enterprises, governments and the public.  The certificate marks RCG’s planned move into the vast Microsoft Windows Vista security market, where exciting opportunities exist.  The certification also demonstrates the high technical skills of RCG’s in-house experts, a strength that we aim to continue developing in the future.”
