About the Windows Logo Program

Updated: November 2, 2007

The Windows Vista Logo Program is a new way for your company to help customers identify compatible products that are designed for ease of use, better performance, and enhanced security.

The "Certified for Windows Vista" logo identifies products that are designed and tested to deliver a superior experience with Windows Vista. The "Works with Windows Vista" logo lets customers know which software and devices offer baseline compatibility with Windows Vista.

The goals of the Windows Vista Logo Program are to:

Communicate to customers that Certified for Windows Vista products provide superior experiences with their software, photos, music, videos, and online communications.

Help customers easily identify software and devices that have been tested for compatibility with Windows Vista.

Enable your company to differentiate your unique offerings while giving customers confidence in the products they choose.
