What’s New in This VersionThis version supersedes Version 1.1, which summarized the Logo Program requirements for PCs and peripherals for Windows 98/Me and Windows 2000. Version 2.0 of this document adds the following new information:
Most of these requirements match design guidelines defined in PC 2001 System Design Guide.
Device and System “Quality” Requirements NotesIn previous versions of this document, the detailed lists of WHQL tests in the “Quality” sections in Appendixes A and B were provided to help designers identify the test requirements related to a specific system or component. However, Microsoft now publishes the WHQL Test Specification, which provides extensive details about many tests in the HCT. In addition, the HCT documentation has been revised extensively to help designers and testers easily identify the test requirements for every system and component. Therefore, the “Quality” sections now include only WHQL Test Specification and HCT documentation cross references, rather than lists of specific tests. In addition, some requirements were erroneously included in the “Quality” sections in earlier drafts. These have been placed in correct locations under “Compatibility” and “Windows Experience” sections, with cross-references retained in their original locations.
System-related Requirement NotesUnless otherwise noted, the requirements apply for all versions of the Windows operating system, and general system requirements apply to PC desktops, mobile PCs, and server systems. Mobile and Server Exceptions. In both the Mobile PC and Server sections in Appendix A, a specific list is provided of cross-references to exceptions for general device and system requirements. To view these lists, see: A3.0 Mobile PC Client Requirements A6.0 Server System Requirements Client vs. Server Notations. Requirement titles clearly specify whether the item applies only for client PCs or servers. For example: A1.4.2 x86-based client: System and all components correctly implement power management A1.4.7 Peripherals included with client system offer a non-legacy interface such as PCI, USB, IEEE 1394, or CardBus A5.4.12 System that provides headless server capabilities meets minimum requirements Windows Version Notations. Requirement titles clearly specify whether the item applies only for specific versions of Windows. For example: A1.4.10 Windows XP Home Edition/Professional: Audio is "digital ready" B6.1.4.10 Windows Whistler Advanced Server: Data modem supports digital connection to support host-side V.90 operation
A1.1.5 Multiprocessor system compatibility requirements x86-based: Comply with ACPI 1.0b. Itanium-based: Comply with Multiple APIC Description Table (MADT) in ACPI 2.0, Section 5.2.10.4. Note: In earlier versions and in the server design guide, the terms IA-32 and IA-64 were used to differentiate 32-bit and 64-bit systems. How to Use This DocumentThis document provides the authoritative compilation of references to all Windows compatibility and Logo Program requirements.
To understand how Logo requirements are defined and organized, see:
Logo Requirements and Related DocumentsThis is a comprehensive checklist; however, this is not a standalone document. To adequately review and design for the compatibility and design requirements for the Windows Logo Program for hardware, you must also have available these documents:
All DDK topic references in this document are based on the current Windows DDK, published in conjunction with the Windows XP operating system. Tip: Search for the cited topic name in your local version of the DDK documentation.
Logo Requirements and the Windows HCTsWhen you install the Windows XP HCT 10.0, this document is automatically installed with the HCT documentation, the WHQL Test Specifications, and the PC and server design guides. The HTML Help (.CHM) versions of these documents are designed to work interactively. We recommend that you review the Windows Logo Program requirements with the HTML Help versions of the test specifications and design guides for easy cross-referencing among the requirements and implementation guidelines. TIP: If you download these documents from the web, place them in the same directory to ensure that the cross-reference links work. All links work automatically if you are running the versions installed the Windows HCT 10.0. 
Resources for Meeting Logo RequirementsThis section provides a list of Microsoft resources that can help you build hardware that meets the Windows Logo requirements. In this document, see also:

For any particular reference citation within these requirements, the entire text guideline applies, as documented in Hardware Design Guide Version 3.0 for Microsoft Windows 2000 Server. These citations are in the following format, where #### indicates the server design guide item number:
TermsAdd-on device Refers to devices that are traditionally added to the basic PC system to increase functionality. Examples include audio, networking, graphics, small computer system interface (SCSI) controller, and so on. Add-on devices fall into two categories: devices built onto the system board and devices on expansion cards added to the system through a system-board connector, such as Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI). Client Refers to versions of the Windows XP and Windows 98/Me operating systems running on desktop or mobile PC systems. Design Guidelines Indicates the source reference where precise information is provided for implementing software or hardware that is compliant with industry standards and the Windows operating system. Exception Indications cases in which a requirement may not apply. FAQ Standard subsections for each system or component in Appendix A and Appendix B, listing clarifications and corrections published for Windows Logo Program requirements. FAQs are defined in subsections numbered #.#.5 in the appendixes. FAQ are also listed at http://www.microsoft.com/winlogo/hardware/ and published in the Windows Logo Program News available by subscription on the Windows Logo Program web site.
Standard subsections for each system or component in Appendix A and Appendix B, listing new features or capabilities that are planned for future versions of the Windows Logo Program for hardware. Future requirements are defined in subsections numbered #.#.R in the appendixes. Future requirements are also listed at http://www.microsoft.com/winlogo/hardware/ and published in the Windows Logo Program News available by subscription on the Windows Logo Program web site.
Standard subsections for each system or component in Appendix A and Appendix B, listing required industry specifications, upon which operating system support is based.
