''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.

Musselsoh man, imagine if someone went into a store selling win vista laptops and just drew a big 7 over the top with a marker.

Or check this - write 'NOT' before the printed text.
That way, when it falls off, you don't know what you're dealing with there.
"Is it certified?" "Well, it's not not certified" "Yeah, but it's not certified either." "OMGOSH, what if it's certified and not certified at the same time!"

Maybe vandalizing the stickers would grant the product magic powers akin to drawing a higher than maximum label on any cartoon gauge or turn nob.
We could make every product "SUPER certified for Windows 7", and "certified for Windows 7.. in the hottest of ways."
How about "Certified for Windows 7.. between the hours of 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM" or.. "If you're reading this, the product is certified for Windows 7, but you have to read it once a day or the certification will be nullified."
And my favorite "If you don't sacrifice a live chicken every day at sunrise, this product will no longer be certified for Windows 7."

Who cares....Just another marketing scam... We all know that hardware vendors will stick this sticker on old left over equipment that will not even sell at a yardsale for 25.00 bucks and market the christ out of it. That was Vista's true problem. Marketing hardware as Vista compatible when it struggled to run XP.

I wonder if we will see a price increase for similar computers that have this logo on it, instead of just Windows Vista, when they release the "upgrade now for free if your computer was bought in the last 30 days" thing.

I laughed at the Compatible with Windows Vista logo when I got my Acer monitor last year, of course it's fucking compatible it's a monitor FFS, what you need to worry about is if it's compatible with your video card, but of course if you need a sticker to tell you a monitor is compatible with Vista you're probably using a POS prebuilt Dell or something lol.

I wonder how far they are going to stretch "compatable". Is a PIII 800 going to be considered "compatable"?

if it has a radeon 9550 and 512MB of ram, it would just be compatible :)

Only thing that has stopped me is the 512MB of ram. I have had 7 installed on a P2 400MHz machine.....LOLz

You have to turn ON ISA in device manager if you want to run a ISA card....

The whole word Compatible is BS even more so company from companys and is just that they do not dare say works with.

Be on your guard if some thing even says the dam word.

It should say; "Screwing you over for the 7th time!"

Or

"Lucky 7, we finally got it right!"
