4. Device Stage: One-stop access to hardware-related tasks, information
Device Stage is a new feature that gathers all of the information (everything from drivers and applications to manuals) relating to a particular phone, printer or other piece of hardware, and it lets you access it from a single window. But it will show up only if device vendors create an XML document based on a Microsoft template, a document that also must be approved by Microsoft. The good news is that such documents are a lot easier to create than new device drivers, and vendors can stick with the drivers created for Vista.
