scroll down and on the left column you will see the 4 letters that have affected many of our user experiences on a computer

OSNN

we've been listed afaik for a while now... used to be xp-erience.org (how i first learnt about this place)... I know a few of us had suggested the site be listed through a submission form (I know i did lol) but i personally didn't know we had been put there till a day or two ago...

basically means more exposure and the capacity to help more people get the best out of their systems

anyways... just a shameless pat on the back for the site and a little plug for y'all too

However, yesterday we got this:

Congratulations! Your site has been selected as a candidate for promotion as a Featured Community on the Windows XP!

The Featured Communities Program is an extension of the 'Related Communities Program' and was designed to recognize and promote a select group of non-Microsoft community sites across Microsoft that have demonstrated expertise in building independent communities which support Microsoft products and technologies.

Featured Community sites are selected by Microsoft product groups using an internal set of criteria to determine 'reach and influence.' These sites range in size, audience demographic and creative style. They provide a wide range of content through rich articles, reviews, newsletters, discussion and user groups, references, code samples, and more.

In addition to receiving the benefits of the Related Communities Program, Featured Communities receive elevated exposure on the appropriate Microsoft community home page with a logo, link, and description. Finally, Featured Communities enjoy the benefits of building a deeper relationship with the Community Leads.

Which is nice.
