Last week Microsoft announced the winners of the 2007 Microsoft Vendor Program (MSVP) Excellence Awards. There is the Service Award, Diversity Award, Quality Award, Value Award, Technology Award and more.

This year’s six winners — Grubb & Ellis Management Services Inc., MV Transportation Inc., LCJ EEIG, HP, Infineon Technologies AG and Kelly Services Inc. — were chosen from among the more than 15,000 vendors that Microsoft works with in the United States.

And the interesting one I wanted to bring to your attention is this winner:

    -- Technology Award: HP.   HP recently released a multifunction print device
       that uses the Microsoft Windows(R) XP Embedded operating system. The
       new multifunction print device provides better integration with
       Microsoft products, improved manageability, easier support and a better
       user experience. HP's device takes advantage of the Microsoft Windows
       Embedded family of operating systems.
