Designed for Windows Logo Program Web Site

The Designed for Windows Logo Program Web site is accessed by searching the MSDN Online Web site. The Designed for Windows Logo site describes the requirements that must be satisfied by software and hardware in order to receive the Designed for Windows logo. The site also includes complete application information.

Developers of software applications can find information on developing applications that are compatible with both Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Microsoft® Windows® 98, and download the most recent version of the Logo Handbook for Software and Software Logo Requirements for Windows 2000.

End users can use this site to determine exactly what Windows 2000 and Windows 98 compatibility means and what features to expect in an application that carries the Logo.

The guidelines provide information on how to provide:

• Application migration functionality for future Windows operating system upgrades.
• Automated application installation and update features.
• Policy support, including lockdown.
• Effective use of the Windows registry and other key operating system files.
• Enhanced accessibility requirements for people with disabilities.
