Its an interesting logo in a number of ways - it signifies benefit for the user, benefit for Sharpeware - and significant improvement on previous logo programs.

So what's in it for you?  First of all, it confirms that SPACEWatch has successfully been through a battery of Microsoft tests and passed them all - proving that it will install and run on any edition of Windows 7 (including the 64 bit ones) without compromising your security and stability or requiring any strange tweaks to get it working.  

You can tell straight away that an application is likely to work properly on Windows 7 - you don't get those annoying "User Access Control" dialog boxes for a start.  That's because SPACEWatch has all its program files properly signed, proving that they come straight from Sharpeware and haven't been altered in any way.  Its also because we don't require you to run the program under elevated rights for normal use - so even if you have admin privileges you don't keep getting prompted to use them.

There are many other things that Microsoft check for - like whether it runs in a multi-user environment properly, and that it installs and uninstalls cleanly - as well as a range of more technical areas.

"Under the hood" this certification helps in other ways.  For example, it means that Sharpeware receives details of any application issues that users agree to send to Microsoft - and in turn this means we can keep users posted about possible fixes and updates - all using Windows 7's native support features.  So if you ever see that "SPACEWatch has stopped working" dialog, it may well be worth clicking on the "Check online for a solution" option.
