Ready™ Certified PC-over-IP® Solution

Taipei, Taiwan, Nov 20, 2009-Leadtek Research Inc., known globally for extreme visual
graphics technology development, is pleased to announce its newest virtual desktop
certifications and solutions, strengthening its strategic partnership with VMware®.

The WinFast VP200 P is Desktop Portal (client) is now VMware View 3 certified to offer a
superior user experience and maximum Return On Investment (ROI) to enterprises
deploying virtualized desktops with VMware View™. This certification indicates that VP200
P has passed the VMware Hardware Certification Program testing for use with VMware
View 3 and is included on the VMware Hardware Compatibility Guide, ensuring Leadtek’s
customers enjoy the best VMware View experience.

This certification strengthens the VMware and Leadtek relationship and signifies the
importance of integrating VMware’s technologies to maximize the benefits of virtualized
desktops for customers. Leadtek is thrilled to put VMware Ready™ Certified logo on
WinFast VP200 P to help customers identify trusted, production-ready solutions. This
combined solution will help enable centralized management, increased security and
reduced TCO.

WinFast VP200 P offers complete support for the PC-over-IP® (PCoIP®) protocol, which is
fast becoming a core remoting protocol, just as Citrix ICA/HDX and Microsoft RDP are
today. In partnership with Teradici, Leadtek is introducing the WinFast VP200 P
workstation-class zero client, with PCoIP support in hardware. This portal device supports
even the most demanding rich-media, high-resolution applications including those usually

engineers and illustrators. The client has no local operating system (no Windows or
Linux) ,and no device drivers, so it's simpler to deploy, requires no local antivirus protection,
and seldom needs management. And because the device has no local storage, it is
completely secure and virus-proof. Usersl receive a true PC experience with a device the
size of a book and consuming less than 15 watts of power.
