“We will have more on this as we get closer to launch, but thousands of products are being populated into the Compatibility Center right now based on confirmed statements of support from partners,” Mark Relph, a senior director with Microsoft’s Windows Product Strategy Group and leader of its Windows Ecosystem team said. “If you are a customer, you can be confident that we are working with our partners to ensure you find the compatibility status, downloads, and helpful resources for the products you use every day.”
