Steve the AMD-Fanatic - Re: "Logos? We don't need no stinkin' logos!"

AMD seems to think it is important. In the spring of 1999 when the K7 was clearly visible, AMD warned that certification by independent testing labs was required and of the possible "material adverse effect" if Windows certification was not obtained for future products.

"In addition, we have entered into logo license agreements with Microsoft that allow us to label our products as "Designed for Microsoft Windows." We have also obtained appropriate certifications from recognized testing organizations for our K86 microprocessors. If we fail to maintain the logo license agreements with Microsoft, we may lose our ability to label our K86 microprocessors with the Microsoft Windows logo. This could impair our ability to market the products and could have a material adverse effect on our business."
