Also, 6,000 "Certified" apps and peripherals on x64 Win7 3 weeks before release is not that bad. Many more run than that you just won't see the logo catching on yet.

Think about it. The Vista Compatible label is essentially the cornerstone in Vista's commercial failure (don't give me shit, I loved Vista once SP1 came around and I still use it at work and at home; just saying commercially here), and given MS's apparent kick in the pants as of late, I'd be really surprised if this turned into lightning striking twice.]]>Sep 30th 2009 7:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/windows-7-logo-program-is-6-000-strong-leaves-most-atom-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/windows-7-logo-program-is-6-000-strong-leaves-most-atom-netbook/Sep 30th 2009 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/windows-7-logo-program-is-6-000-strong-leaves-most-atom-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/windows-7-logo-program-is-6-000-strong-leaves-most-atom-netbook/Sep 30th 2009 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/windows-7-logo-program-is-6-000-strong-leaves-most-atom-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/windows-7-logo-program-is-6-000-strong-leaves-most-atom-netbook/BTW 7 doesn`t run on it either, nothing with a vista based kernel does, hopefully home server is running something else at heart or I gonna play with penguins again.]]>Sep 30th 2009 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/windows-7-logo-program-is-6-000-strong-leaves-most-atom-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/windows-7-logo-program-is-6-000-strong-leaves-most-atom-netbook/

The answer is that you are actually using a Mac. The thing is Windows has copied so many things from OS X that it is increasingly difficult to visually tell the difference between the two. It's only when you use a Windows PC that you'll begin seeing the difference as it starts to crash and get filled with spyware and viruses.]]>Sep 30th 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/windows-7-logo-program-is-6-000-strong-leaves-most-atom-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/30/windows-7-logo-program-is-6-000-strong-leaves-most-atom-netbook/

With Vista, the stickers meant that the computer could run SOME version of Vista at least minimally, and possibly after some firmware update that was not yet available.

Win WIn7, the stickers mean that the computer can run ANY version of Win7.

The problem is that the new stickers require a computer to be able to run all hardware versions of Windows, not just all feature versions of Windows. That is, just because the computer can run Windows Ultimate doesn't mean it can get a sticker. It has to be able to run Windows Ultimate 64-bit. That leaves out a lot of equipment, most notably netbooks that, in general, cannot use 64-bit processors, regardless of how much you max out the other specs.

It will help on the accessory and software ends though. It means that when I get a new TV tuner that has a Compatible logo, it will work with my Windows 64-bit edition and will not have a asterisk - "* Requires a 32-bit version".
