Doug--

We are constantly tracking our 2 day answer rate to make sure that customers are getting quick answers to their development questions. I hope that you find these forums useful as learn about everything the Microsoft development platform has to offer.

Just a quick FYI that I think is cool--in Visual Studio 2005, along with the Express editions, if you search for online help from the help menu, these forums are automatically searched and the results returned right inside the help window. It's a pretty cool way to look for answers to your questions without even leaving Visual Studio!

Good luck,

Do you mean that you are having trouble finding the Windows XP SDK forum? That makes sense, because there isn't currently an XP SDK forum. Forums are a relatively new thing here at Microsoft, and we are still working hard on getting teams to "sign up". As for now, the newsgroups are still the best place to ask XP SDK questions.

No! What I mean is, that in the statistcs there is an entry for the Windows SDK forum, and you wrote that the coverage isn't large there and they need help.

What forum is it? Give me a link! I don't believe its an NNTP forum. The MVPs there are very effective.
