These guidelines define the Windows Logo Program requirements for consistent, stable operating system functionality and help ensure a satisfactory customer experience.
Compliance dates for specific Windows Logo Program requirements are defined on the web at http://www.microsoft.com/winlogo/hardware/.
Note: These requirements apply to all systems and peripherals displaying the "Designed for Windows" Logo, in the configuration shipped to a customer
Statements in this document or in the HCT documentation related to "testing requirements" or "systems submitted for Microsoft Windows Logo Program Testing" indicate test submission requirements; such statements do not reduce or alter these Logo requirements.
A customer may request that the system supplier omit a particular component from a system configuration as shipped to that customer; however, such a customer request does not remove or reduce any related requirements for that system to support that component's functionality if the customer installs a Logo’d component of that class into the system.
