Is Prolific willing to live with this issue? My recommendation was YES.
We do not send this to you, you come find us.
We do not post on fly-by-night software DL sites...period
Could this result in a loss of sales?
Sure. To certify this straight across the board could cost 20G or better a year.
Please understand folks, this is NOT just a Prolific issue.
Put Norton, Adobe Reader, Quickbooks (pretty big list) on a system that did not come with it originally and watch the warnings fly!
I would imagine that most users of Vista see so many security prompts, warnings, and error messages in their day-to-day activities that they would not be concerned by an unsigned application. Especially when, as you point out, major applications (some costing $500+ vs. $9.95) "fail" this new Microsoft 'test'.
I'm sure some will feel differently, but I strongly feel that Vista is a nuisance, an experiment really, not a proper OS.
