Hi folks..
Can anyone point me to resources about Windows XP User Interface/
Experience Design? The only book I could get my hands on was "Microsoft
Windows User Experience" ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/
0735605661/qid=1133866907/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-9343078
-1021643?n=507846&s=books&v=glance - check Amazon.com ).
But that book is rather outdated (1999)...
Anything that fits the solutions provided by Codejock Software would be
appreciated...
Looking forward to some insightful answers :)
Georg

Have you tried:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/Resources/windowsxp/default.mspx - http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/Resources/windowsxp/default.ms px
and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwue/html/welcome.asp - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/e n-us/dnwue/html/welcome.asp
I would say that the "Microsoft Windows User Experience" book is still
mostly applicable. Somethings change often (e.g. the toolbar style at
Microsoft seems to change on an hourly basis), but other guidelines are
probably here to stay (e.g. capitalization rules, space between dialog
items, general layout guidlines, etc)
Just my take on it...

Thanks for the reply!
Yep, I've downloaded the Visual Guidelines already. I was hoping
someone could recommend a book about that topic, but it's ok that way..
