The Windows Vista certified coach is back, and fully loaded this time. Microsoft managed to make the Windows Vista certification process down right hilarious. Don't believe me? Just head over at the brand new ProductsOfChampions website and meet the Vista certified coach. Additionally, just for your amusement, I have also embedded all the videos on the website at the bottom of this article. The coach is ready to welcome all products to the Vista gym, but certification is awarded only following intense training.

"Getting certified for Windows Vista is all about ensuring that users of hardware products and Windows Vista have an outstanding experience when put the two together. In this context, hardware products are peripheral devices like mice, keyboard, printers, routers and more. For the makers of these devices it gives them the rubber stamp approval which helps market the product and get it more edge over competitors. For consumers it provides peace of mind when it comes to selecting a device and a reassurance that they will get the best possible experience with the minimum of fuss," revealed James Senior, Microsoft UK technical specialist.

Microsoft put a lot of effort into building this excellent interactive flash website and you should take the time to navigate through it. Learning about the Windows Vista certified program has never been a more enjoyable experience. But you might also want to stretch your muscles in the Vista Gym with two games and a hilarious staring contest. The movies alone are worth your trouble, if you don't want to watch the YouTube versions below courtesy of Long Zheng.

"We've launched a website called ProductsOfChampions which is a place where hardware vendors can get more information about getting their products certified for Windows Vista and also where consumers can get more info on what it means for them. It's worth just checking out for the videos!" Senior added.
