impressive roadmap and a great line-up of capacitive touch sensors that will
help make biometrics mainstream on Windows devices. We appreciate the
collaborative nature of FPC and their receptiveness to our feedback which will
result in excellent integration in Windows 8.1.” says Dustin Ingalls, Partner
Group Program Manager for Windows Security & Identity at Microsoft.

“By this initiative, Microsoft is spearheading the use of fingerprint sensors to

combination of Microsoft’s intuitive user interface in Windows 8.1 and FPC’s
high performance fingerprint touch sensor makes the user verification experience
