Digital Media Devices and the Windows Logo Program

Digital media device manufacturers are encouraged to participate in the Windows Vista Logo Program and to seek the Certified for Windows Vista logo. To participate, you must include PlaysForSure testing as part of the Logo certification process.

The PlaysForSure device requirements began in 2004 as a Microsoft program to help consumers identify digital media devices that work with their favorite online stores and with Windows Media Player. The PlaysForSure device requirements are now part of the Windows Logo Program and receive all the marketing benefits of the wide Windows Logo Program efforts.

For portable devices, see Portable Media Players, Mobile Phones, and the Windows Logo Program.
