playsforsure is dead

We all knew this day would come. Despite reassurances from Microsoft (especially after the launch of the Zune media player), everyone had a sneaky suspicion that the company would end up killing the program

That day has finally come (sorta). The PlaysForSure brand and program are no more.. but the certification process is still around. It’s now a part of the general “Certified for Windows Vista” program. Thus if you have PlaysForSure content, you’ll want to look for devices that say “Certified for Windows Vista” instead of “PlaysForSure”. According to Microsoft, all the testing requirements are still the same – just part of something else now.

It was nice knowing you PlaysForSure..
