For WinQual you MUST use Verisign but, it's a special certificate which only costs $99 and only works for WinQual authentication. I think you could buy a full Verisign certificate which would work for both WinQual and code signing but, it's still cheaper to buy the $99 winqual and a full certificate from someone else.
