Windows Vista Logo Program for Software - Draft 0.8 |
The goal of this document is to give ISVs and other developers an opportunity to provide feedback on the Windows Vista Logo Program for software. Future drafts will contain more implementation and testing guidance.
The goal of the Vista Logo Program for software is to increase the quality of applications across the Windows ecosystem. The requirements in this document outline criteria that help make an application more compatible, reliable, and secure when running on Windows Vista. Applications that meet all of these requirements can carry the Windows Vista Logo artwork. This artwork is not yet available.
The Windows Vista Logo Program is one of certification. Applications must be independently tested by a Microsoft approved testing vendor before they are granted logo certification. As part of this process, a logo document will be created for each application. This document will contain information about the application’s behavior and how the application passed certain requirements. When a requirement calls for behavior to be documented, the information must be included in the logo document. Logo documents will be made publicly available for review by customers. Complete details of this document will be provided in the 1.0 specification.
