The "Designed for Microsoft® Windows®" logo helps customers identify
your systems and server products and deliver a high-quality computing
experience with Windows operating systems.
"Designed for Windows" testing ensures that product meets WHQL compatibility
requirements for Windows. Products that have been tested can be expected to
work well with Windows and give customers a better experience. Testing your
products drastically helps reduce costs (support and product returns), verifies
the quality of your hardware and reduces time to market.
Systems without a logo will not necessarily cause problems. However, systems
that are incorrectly configured or contain incompatible hardware or drivers can
result in reduced functionality or instability of Windows. CraitonTesting can
help you identify these problems early and help you address them before your
customers call you for support.
CraitonTesting will test your system against the current "Designed for Windows"
logo requirements. This includes a large variety of tests and generally takes
at least 100 hours. CraitonTesting will address any failures and perform basic
problem resolution. After testing is completed, we can either make a logo
submission for you or return the test results via email or on a CD.
