Testing Services to Ensure Compatibility and Compliance with Multilingual Releases of Latest Microsoft Products

Brno, Czech Republic - March 2, 2007

Moravia Worldwide announced that its QASight business unit - provider of product globalization testing services - made available today its Multilingual Compatibility Program for the Windows Vista^TM operating system and Microsoft® Office 2007. This integrated set of testing and engineering services is designed specifically to verify compatibility of software applications and products with the many language versions of these latest Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) flagship technologies and their multilingual features.

The Multilingual Compatibility Program helps producers ascertain if, and to what extent, their products are compatible with localized versions of the Windows Vista operating system and the Microsoft Office 2007 suite. It also tests product support for the specific language features and latest multilingual usability enhancements contained in these Microsoft products.

Ultimately, the program verifies that existing or yet-to-be-launched software and products will function well and as expected with Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 installations deployed by users worldwide in local language versions.

Windows Vista is set to be available in almost 100 local language versions, including 35 specific language packs in addition to English, 61 languages and locales as Windows Vista LIP (Language Interface Pack) and complemented by a number of Windows Vista Multilingual User Interface Packs (MUI). Microsoft Office 2007 desktop applications will support 37 languages. These new versions feature not only important technological advances but also reflect the recent developments and cultural changes that have occurred in many countries and locales since the last release.

The Multilingual Compatibility Program is built on a comprehensive range of QASight services tailored to account for the many available languages and multilingual features contained in the latest versions of the Microsoft products. The program's services include localization testing, functionality testing, linguistic quality assurance testing, test development engineering, software engineering and internationalization.

"This represents an enormous opportunity for producers of any products that will work with or support these technologies, as well as a number of challenges as they seek international compatibility.
