Dig Deep for 3 Days in May: New Logo Programs for Windows WinHEC 2006 May 23-25, Seattle As part of the development effort for the next generation of Windows, Microsoft is introducing new programs designed to help you build and sell compelling Windows-based products.
At WinHEC, you'll have the opportunity to meet with the teams at Microsoft who are working to develop the new program and new tests. You can "Ask the Experts" for answers to your questions about design, development, and testing for new systems, devices, and drivers.
Many WinHEC technical sessions discuss implementation details and guidelines for the new Windows Logo Program for client and server systems and for devices. In addition, at hands-on labs you can get a close look at the Windows Driver Kit and try some of the new testing tools.
Here are some examples of WinHEC sessions that will help you understand the new logo programs:
