The Windows Logo Program would like to inform our partners that we released Windows Logo Kit (WLK) 1.5 on November 25, 2009, through the Microsoft Connect Web site ( https://connect.microsoft.com/site/sitehome.aspx?SiteID=668). WLK 1.5 will be a required kit for logo submissions effective February 1, 2010. Partners can choose to use either WLK 1.4 or WLK 1.5 for logo submissions until February 1, 2010. WLK 1.4 will expire on February 1, 2010. Please note that we will no longer provide hotfixes (QFEs) for WLK 1.4, effective with the release of WLK 1.5 on November 25.

New Submission Process for GPU Family Update Category
Effective December 1, 2009, the Windows Logo Program will enforce graphics processing unit (GPU) family policy for Windows 7 as described in Policy-0017 and Policy-0004 in LogoPoint ( https://winqual.microsoft.com/member/LogoPoint/Requirements/PreparedRequirementReport.aspx). Under GPU family policy, if the video card on a logo-qualified system is replaced with a video card that is outside the GPU family, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) must run the GPU Family Update tests on that system. The GPU Family Update category is a new system subcategory defined in Windows Logo Kit 1.5 to help partners to run a reduced set of tests to validate graphics subsystems. The Windows Logo Program team will not collect the logs for this category through the Windows Quality Online Services (Winqual) submission process. Instead submit your passing and failing results through the Windows Logo Program connection on Microsoft Connect. To submit log files from the GPU Family Update category: 1. Log on to the Microsoft Connect Web site ( http://connect.microsoft.com/). 2. Click Your Dashboard, and then click the Windows Logo Program connection. 3. On the navigation menu, click Feedback. 4. Click Submit Feedback. 5. Click GPU family update category. 6. Complete the survey form and click Submit. 7. On the next page, under Repro Steps, click Attach files. 8. Click Browse, select your CPK (one CPK file per feedback), and then click Submit.
