'PlaysForSure' logo being replaced with 'Certified for Vista

Without much explanation, Microsoft's PlaysForSure Web page, which had once been the meeting ground for its portable media tech partners, now bears a statement to users that the logo is being dropped.

"The PlaysForSure logo is getting a new look," the statement reads. "All the testing requirements for devices are the same, but instead of looking for the PlaysForSure logo to ensure compatibility, look for the Certified for Windows Vista logo." That's the statement in its entirety, and apparently "compatibility" under the new definition is restricted to Windows Vista, not XP.
