14 Understanding Microsoft Windows Logo Certification

Microsoft's WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Logo) is targeted at commercially marketed desktop applications that run on the latest released versions of Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT Workstation. It is not intended for client/server or Windows NT Server applications. The goals of the logo certification program are to improve Windows hardware and software quality, increase end-user satisfaction, and reduce support costs.

To receive the logo, a product must show proof of compatibility with Windows 95/98 and NT. These include making sure that a device:

Installs and registers itself properly with the operating system

Is reliably functional and stable

Removes itself (minus its core components) using an automated uninstaller

Supports Universal Naming Conventions (UNC) and Long File Names (LFN)
