Happy to announce that our secure deletion product MediaWIPE 2.0.3.0 has passed the Windows 7 Logo program. With that we can now display a fancy Win 7 logo on our boxes, website and marketing material.

What is “Compatible With Windows 7″? Simply, passing Microsoft-designed tests to make sure the product works correctly on Windows 7. It ensures compatibility and reliability when installed.

Why do it? It helps your product stand out from the crowd. A customer knows your product has gone through extra testing to ensure it works well. Many OEM customers will only bundle if you have passed the Windows 7 Logo program.

Is it hard to get? Kind of. The testing part is easy. Microsoft makes it simple with the Windows 7 Client Software Logo Toolkit. The code signing (we used a Verisign Digital Certificate) was the hardest part. Once you get that out of the way it is as simple as signing some agreements and you are approved!
