Designed for Microsoft Windows XP Logo

  Hardware and software products  displaying the Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo have been tested  for compatibility with Microsoft Windows operating systems through use of  Microsoft-provided testing procedures. For the best performance, Microsoft  recommends using hardware products that display the Designed for Microsoft  Windows XP logo on the external packaging and on the device  itself.

   Software for hardware products with the Designed for Microsoft Windows  XP logo has a digital signature from  Microsoft, indicating that the product was tested for compatibility with Windows  and has not been altered since testing. For the latest updates, including  security fixes, service packs, new Help files, and device drivers, see Windows Update in Help and Support  Center. You may also  want to contact the hardware vendor directly and ask for a device  driver that has met the Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo  requirements. For more information, visit the Microsoft Windows  Logo Program (go to http://www.microsoft.com/ and  search for "Windows logo program") on the Microsoft Web  site.

  Warning

 
[*]Microsoft strongly recommends you only use device drivers with the  Designed for Microsoft Windows XP logo. Installing device drivers that  have not been digitally-signed by Microsoft may disable the system, allow  viruses onto your computer, or otherwise impair the correct operation of your  computer either immediately or in the future.

...however, if you're using Linux, you may safely ignore this warning, and pretty much EVERYTHING ELSE we ever say.  :D

Narf Man:
It's nice to see that I'm not the only person who thought the wording in that "warning" looked a little ominous.

WMD:
Device drivers that install viruses...while I bet it can be done, it'd be much harder to program than just the typical "FREE CELEBRITY SCREENSAVERS.exe".

noob:
well i have moved my server back to linux and my dekstop would follow, but the slight problem of being a gamer means i cant.
