Note About Windows Logo Testing
When you install the Xboard USB drivers, you see a dialog box that informs you
that the driver has not passed Windows Logo testing.
However, the Xboard USB drivers have been rigorously tested using the same test
procedures that a signed driver requires, and it passes in all important categories,
including those that measure the relative stability of the driver. So, it is perfectly
safe to install these drivers on your computer.
