Microsoft releases Windows 7 Software Logo Program Requirements

Anyone who is intending to develop applications for Windows 7 should take a good look at this. As deceiving as the topic might be, this isn’t a document about anything relating to logo designs. It’s a document that lists the requirements for an application to qualify certification for the pre-release version of Windows 7.

Long Zheng took the liberty of pointing out some main highlights of the 10-page document:

Finally the application must,

  1. Install and uninstall cleanly
  2. Install to the correct folders by default
  3. Support x64 versions of Windows
  4. Follow User Account Control (UAC) Guidelines
  5. Do not load Services and Drivers in Safe Mode
  6. Digitally Sign Files
  7. Do not prevent an installation or application from launching because of OS version checking
  8. Prevent unnecessary reboots
  9. Support multiuser sessions
  10. Minimize application failures

You can download the document here. The document is still in its preliminary stages and may be changed over time. But Microsoft does have a survey up to allow feedback. Microsoft wants to ensure that their developers are ready to avoid any hiccups in the operating system’s release.

    I watched Conan on tour a couple days ago and it was very entertaining. I can’t wait for his new show to come to TBS. It will be the beginning of a new chapter in late night television.
