They still "certify" apps?[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#8)
by Anonymous User on Tue Jul 17, 2007 at 12:59:19 PM PDT

I gave up over 10 years ago on the value of Microsoft's certification. Back then, M$ refused to issue a "Designed for Windows 95" logo for Novel/Corel WordPerfect Office Suite for Windows 95. This move was purely political on M$' part, despite the fact the product worked under Win95 (albeit buggy, but most of the bugs were corrected with free patches).

Maybe it's time we start taking everything Microsoft says with a grain of salt. Then again, I haven't trusted Roxio's crap for years, so who cares...

But then, I've said it once before and I'll say it again--Americans have gotten lazy in their use of class-action suits. If Roxio puts out v10 as a paid upgrade and leaves Vista-v9 users with no choice but to upgrade, then it's time for a class-action lawsuit against Roxio.
