I have no idea. Microsoft lost this former "solutions provider" (used to get the monthly crate-o-CDs) in the mid-90s with the anti-developer trifecta of:

- Executable registry entries

- Baking-In IE into the O.S. w/o any native ability (pre hypervisors) to concurrently run multiple versions for testing purposes

- Re-Authorization/Re-Licensing for trivial hardware changes (the whole WGA bullshit)




I've never heard of executable registry entries, and google is failing me when I try to find them. Can you link me to something about them?
