                 The Microsoft Logoed Software List

 The official Microsoft Internet presence,  WINNEWS, released in Vol. 2,
 #18  of October 1995 the following.  "This is a list of software
 products that have earned the Designed for Windows 95 Logo as of
 October 5, 1995. "

 They go on to say: "To earn the Windows 95 Logo, software products must
 be 32-bit Windows-based applications which provide better multitasking
 and robustness in Windows 95. Applications with the Windows 95 Logo
 also feature the enhanced user interface of Windows 95, support long
 filenames, provide automated installation and uninstall capability.
 Many(?) applications, support OLE component technology which provides
 better cross-application interoperability(?) and efficiency through
 features such as OLE Drag and Drop."

 Given the many features touted in the approved '95 software list,  can
 we assume that every package includes all these standards? Not quite,
 not all the time and certainly not very clear.  "Sort of," says Steve
 Shattuck. "They must be 32-bit, handle long file names, have an
 uninstall,  run on Windows NT plus a few other requirements.  If an
 application requires a feature not supported in Windows NT, then the
 application can simply meet the NT requirements by having the program
 display "This program requires a Windows 95" dialog box. A good example
 of Logo programs with this exemption would be Norton Navigator which
 require the Windows 95 GUI, and QModem for Windows 95 which requires
 TAPI (Telephony Application Program Interface), which Windows NT
 doesn't support YET.

 It might be useful that future authorized MS listings include simple
 check boxes next to each software package indicating which of the '95
 standards are included and how and if they differ from NT standards.
 Certainly as part of the massive upgrade surge required by Windows 95,
 lists of this sort have greater utility to the ultimate buyer if these
 lists represent more than mere exposure to WEB travelers . There is
 also the assumption that everyone is aware of what smallish niche
 developers are about and what there software offerings do  or how and
 where to directly reach them. lbl
