[OT?] Legitimising a developer as a 'publisher' in Windows 7

[Dave Kilroy]

Another thing to watch out for is timestamping. If you apply a timestamp as
you code sign a file then when your code signing certificate expires the
certificate on your file continues to be recognised by UAC - if you don't
apply a timestamp then when your certificate expires the certificate on your
file stops being recognised.

So for anything you think might continue being used after the life of your
certificate consider applying a timestamp

Dave

PS: I guess if you renew your code signing certificate before it expires
that the certificate on the file will continue to be recognised by verisign
(or whoever) and thus continue to be recognised as valid by Microsoft UAC
