Windows Logo Program Device Metadata Submissions  

Device Stage is a new feature of Windows 7 that significantly improves end users’ interaction with devices connected to their computer. This interaction between user and device is called the Device Stage “experience”. The device vendor authors the experience and submits a device metadata package to Winqual. This webcast describes the Winqual submission process for device metadata. The webcast is divided into three sections: an overview of the entire process and key concepts, a walkthrough of the submission process, and advice on how to test the submission using preview packages.
