Device Stage provides a way for users to interact with eligible devices in Windows 7. It includes a visual interface that makes it easy for customers to find and use applications and services for their devices. Device Stage also provides a multifunction version of AutoPlay for certain eligible devices. Device makers that develop device experiences for Device Stage use a new set of XML schemas to specify rich branding and customization of the interface, including defining custom tasks to install software and links to services. Device makers can update their custom Device Stage experiences by submitting updates to Microsoft for distribution across the Internet to PCs running Windows 7.

Device Stage applies to the following device classes:

  • Document devices (printer, scanner, multi-function printer)
  • Keyboards and mice
  • Mobile broadband devices (USB modem)
  • PCs
