Windows Logo Program Test Kit Policy Announcement
Microsoft recommends that you use the Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) build for Windows 7 Logo Program submissions; however, submissions made with later builds of Windows 7 are acceptable and will not be blocked. We recommend using the Windows 7 RC build except in situations where known issues are fixed in later builds. If you use a build later than Windows 7 RC, we recommend that you use a PRS-signed build. Note however, that you might not get support from Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) if you use a post-RC build.
Printer manufacturers: For Web Services on Devices (WSD) printers, you must use a build later than Windows 7 RC due to a bug in the RC build.
After the Windows 7 RTM build releases it will be required for all Windows 7 Logo Program testing.
