TimeControl has passed the Windows7 Logo tests. These tests are made available to Microsoft partners like HMS Sofwtare. Passing this particular test
is done with the Microsoft WinQual system which requires that we follow a suite of exact steps which Winqual follows. The resulting report is sent to
Microsoft which certifies the results. Microsoft has informed us that TimeControl passed the Windows7 Compatability tests which would allow us to use the Windows7 Compatible logo
on our boxes if we wished. The certification is valid through 2014 and as a result, this means that HMS's partnership with Microsoft as an Independent Software Vendor will continue
for at least that long. HMS has maintained an ISV relationship with Microsoft since 1995 when we first made a link from TimeControl to Microsoft Project.
