Comment Windows Logo Testing for drivers (Score 1) 702

I used to have a laptop that came with Windows ME and no wireless card. I remedied both situations, but every time I reformatted that clunker, I had to manually install the driver for my Linksys PCMIA card. Whenever I would do that, my computer would pop up with a dialog saying that the driver hadn't passed "Windows Logo Testing," and gave me two choices: "STOP" and "Continue." They don't need a list of supported drivers, it seems. From what I understand, Microsoft digitally signs drivers that they've tested for full compatibility.

Things'll start getting really interesting when your warranty is voided after installing OpenOffice... You'll probably get a "FLOSS error."
