Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.  I don't know the details
of the process, but I have heard that at least one requirement is that
applications be installed _and_removed_ in a standard fashion.  That
one feature is very important to a lot of sites, particularly for demo
copies.  I am not suggesting you need to be certified, but at least look
at their standards and evaluate their possible value one by one, rather
than discounting them because they came from Microsoft.
