Thanks to Anthony for this one:

Microsoft has developed a set of guidelines and recommendations for PC manufacturers seeking to label their machines with the Windows XP logo. These aren´t finalized yet, but I want to share them with you so you can consider them when purchasing your next computer.

Some of the items I´ve listed are requirements and others are mere recommendations or best practices; for simplicity´s sake, I have made no distinction between them. Interestingly, while the "PC Design Checklist for Windows XP" includes just about everything else, I see nothing about processor speed. I guess "faster is better" goes without saying.

PCinsight has compiled a quick article highlighting the various products showcased at Comdex Canada West that recently took place.

One board which did catch my attention (and that I “was” allowed to snap a picture of), was their limited edition “pink” motherboard. An AOpen rep informed me that this was one of only 2000 of such boards produced, and that it was exclusive to Japan.
