What do you expect of beta software, of course it's not MS certified .....yet :) . Basically certification is nice way for microsoft to charge us money to write software for their operating system.

You can safely install the software without a problem. The dialog refers to the USB driver that is installed for accessing the upcoming Pascal Automation Controller which is programmed via USB. It is SAFE to install this driver even thou it has not signed by Microsoft.

The software is 100% compatiable with XP. The plan is to certify the USB driver, but this won't happen until after initial release as any changes to the driver will require re-certification (and paying more money).
