Need clarification on Win9X WHQL Certification

[Nazim]

Hi all,

I want to know if WHQL certificate for the Device Driver is still given for
the following Win OS.
1. Win 98 Gold
2. Win 98SE
3. Win ME

Note: I am looking only for WHQL cerificate, not for LOGO program for
Device.

Need clarification on Win9X WHQL Certification

 

[Robert Harper [MSFT]]

Nazim,

WHQL testing for the Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition logo will end
January 1, 2004

Effective January 1, 2004, WHQL will no longer accept submissions for the
Microsoft® Windows® Millennium Edition operating system. Any submissions for
Windows ME that are uploaded to the Winqual Web site after 11:59 PST on
December 31 will be canceled. This includes all submission types for all
devices and systems.
For information about changes in the availability and support of the Windows
Me operating system, go to http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle.mspx.

Announcement is posted at the link below

http://www.Microsoft.com/whdc/hwtest/search/details.aspx?ID=800

WHQL no longer certifies Windows 9.x (which includes Win ME).

I hope this clarifies your question.

Thanks,
Robert Harper
