''Compatible with Windows 7 Logo'' Surfaces
Ahead of the launch of Microsoft's next big update to its Windows operating system, the company seems to be ready with its product compatibility assurance logo. The "Compatible with Windows 7" logo, was leaked to the media, sourced by MadboxPC. It may feature electronically, or printed as stickers. The logo will be featured on computer hardware and software that is compatible with Windows 7. What criteria exactly define qualification for this logo is not known at this point in time.

I'm guessing that to make that logo appear, relevant hardware would need driver support for x86 and x64 support, with WHQL certification.
IMO of course :)
But I bet they won't have any problems when people try and put 7 onto a machine...
Unlike what happened with the XP to Vista issues...
I want the proper Windows 7 sticker, not just "Compatible with".
You know like with Vista, you had an ugly grey sticker that said compatible, and then a much nicer white one that meant certified
but you could always cut out the "compatible with":D
But what I find even funnier is how, in fear of customers believing this marketing farce, they all jump on the band wagon and use it as an advertising gimmick, albeit only in order to gain back the fairness in sales. Everything from monitors to mouse pads were "Windows Vista compatible" and now "Windows 7 compatible", when they have absolutely nothing to do with the OS or even software, largely.
So, basically, that sticker and what it stands for is utterly bullshit. What doesn't come with it, such as every single thing I own, works flawlessly with Windows 7. What does come with it, has about the same chances of working with Windows 7 as something that does not, and I for one support the courageous companies who do not use this lie.
hell i cant make shit up as good as what we usually get when a new OS launches :)
(PS I stole them:D)
I had at least half the inside of the door covered on my P180... i collect the damn things :)
and I forgot where 3 of them went:laugh:
[also 10 in total:)]
