I'm new to this mailing list and I'm currently reading my way down the
hundred or so messages I've received in the past day. Here I am 30
messages down and finally a message that provides a good way to
introduce myself. I'm a programmer/writer in the Windows Operating
System User Assistance group at Microsoft and what a coincidence, I'm
the writer assigned to the Windows Logo program. The logo requirements
have changed for Windows2000 and there are now two levels of logo
eligibility. It's all in the latest version of the Platform SDK
available on the MSDN website and on the subscriber CDs.
Hello!
Peter Taylor.
