The Benefits
-As a Related Community, your site or service will receive contextually relevant placement (a link and description) on the No. 1 corporate site and fourth largest Web site on the planet (according to Jupiter Media Metrics, 2003).
-You will have the opportunity to engage with a Microsoft Community Lead. A community lead is your personal, direct contact with Microsoft who can help you find answers to difficult questions, learn about upcoming events, and gain more insight into the product life cycle.
-You have the opportunity to include the Microsoft® Related Community logo on your community site or service.
-Your community site has the potential to be promoted to a Featured Community, receiving elevated exposure across Microsoft Web sites with your community site logo, link, and description. This is a great way to bring new traffic to your community site or service.
To Qualify
This program is open to contextually relevant community Web sites that meet all of the following base-level participation guidelines*:
-Predominantly devoted to peer-to-peer community features. Example: Newsgroups, discussion boards, chats, blogs, etc.
-Supports Microsoft products and/or services and technologies
Provides a visible reciprocal link back to the contextually relevant Microsoft community site home page
* If at any time your site does not meet all of these requirements, it may be pulled from the program. Microsoft will not include links to sites with inappropriate language, nudity/sexual content, violence, gambling/drugs/alcohol, etc.
ARGH Neowin is becoming a Microsoft Propoganda outpost
Joke BTW
Let me guess, "inappropriate language" = anything critical of M$.
Dude, it's MS.
Micro$oft was convicted in a court of law, Bill Gate$ is a felon, period.

Toadeater,
Your comment is wrong and childish.
I am an Open Source supporter, and a 100% Linux user at home. Yet, I do not have these hostilities towards Microsoft. Sure, they have done some unethical things. They have also done much to advance computing for the masses.
It is a decent OS for individuals and for businesses.
Go us!
I can't see it listed here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/relatedsites.mspx yet though

Yeah, my Firefox didn't show your link...
Naughty MS not following web-standards

Quick question... is Active Scripting a standard? Do you have any idea if the Mozilla team plans to ever support it?
lol, j/k
Featured Community: Neowin.net
A large Windows enthusiast community. You can expect help and volunteer support either through our community forums or by the news we post for all your Windows related queries.
That might explain the huge load on the server the last little bit. I could barely browse.
But it helps us to gain access to Microsoft on a more trusted & proffesional level. So we can bring things like MS Chat sessions, Q & A's, winhec, teched & get your issues & replys to micorosft.
This doesn't mean we no longer care about our members, or alternatives. Its not a MS take over.
Its more of a recognition for all our hard work for you, our community.
Just curious.

yeah whatever. ive already seen this place go anti everything now microsoft will be controling the strings directly.
i was thinking of leaveing, but since you asked so nicely for me to stay ill be here just for you jaggedflame. remeber you asked me to stay
STV
and without the voice of opposition this community would fad into a very blah community.
so congrates jaggedflame
STV
Guess what? I don't give a sh*t. I couldn't possibly care less. It was a joke. It's actually quite sad that you decide whether or not to leave or stay depending on someone else. Do you have a brain, or do you just do what everyone else tells you to do?
If neowin is that bad for you perhaps this is more to your liking then,LINK
by the way post a trolling comment if you like, i could not care less
He's considering annoying others as being a good and intelligent way to spend his time online, that's all.
He's free to do that in my opinion. We need a punching bag on Neowin.
You can bet most views will surely be slanted now. Like all the people who defend everything Microsoft does, as if they are such an honest business. Everything they sell is overpriced, and stealing from customers due to their monopoly (yes Microsoft has already had a judgement against them for overcharging). Linux does not remove the monopoly title given to Microsoft due to the fact you can't play the great games on Linux.
...every time they report something that could be negative for Microsoft, they will have to remember that "where would we be without Microsofts backing" etc etc. bah.

STV
n. employees working in an organization, personnel; crew, team; stick, rod, pole; group of 5 horizontal lines and the 4 spaces between them on which music is written
v. employ a group of workers, provide with employees, man
sorry guys for trolling i was in the wrong
does this mean that neowin's forum will be cleaned up some? or does that just only apply to the main page?
The word filter has already been in place ever since
That was not allowed since day 1
Given that we are a tech site, I think those aren't the context of the forum as a whole anyway
Unless you're one of the many General Discussions forum spammers on this forum
General Disc has all of that and don't forget RWI.
