In November, 2007 Ericom delivered the first Terminal Services solution to be certified by Microsoft for Windows Server 2008. Tony de Freitas, Director of Windows Server marketing at Microsoft confirmed that "Ericom has introduced the first Terminal Services application that takes full advantage of the security and solid foundation of Windows Server 2008".
