Support and certification for Microsoft Windows Vista will serve to enhance the entire Attachmate host access product family, including Reflection® and EXTRA!, helping mutual customers streamline host access projects to drive business productivity and lower total cost of ownership. With certification for Windows Vista, Attachmate’s EXTRA! X-treme, backed by the Company’s award winning technical support, will provide customers with a powerful and reliable host access technology.
