VAIO Gate is a launcher application with built-in RSS functionality, preinstalled on every VAIO sold worldwide. Initially designed for Windows 7, following popular request it was ported to Windows Vista. With a dynamic, user-customisable interface, it was the first CRM system to provide discounts, information and help for VAIO users.
Following the success of this project, I worked on further updates.
