From: David on 27 Jan 2010 09:50 Nobody: Thanks for pointing what you consider to be key areas in MSDN. I've sent a request to Micrsoft so will see what it yields. Someone somewhere has got to have a macro overview of how the OS is put together. Hopefully, it will include any name changes for the same thing. My understanding has now changed NetMeeting to some other name in Windows7. If I get a copy or a link to what I'm after I will post to this thread. Have a nice day.

From: Patrice on 28 Jan 2010 10:34 It should "Windows Meeting Space". Your last post make me realize that you are perhaps looking at a higher level lists of components such as : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_components Most of those components are supported by a lower level API provided by the OS. Is this level of detail you are looking for ? -- Patrice "David" <NoWhere(a)earthlink.net> a �crit dans le message de groupe de discussion : #Rt4CA2nKHA.4628(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Nobody: > > Thanks for pointing what you consider to be key areas in MSDN. > I've sent a request to Micrsoft so will see what it yields. > Someone somewhere has got to have a macro overview of > how the OS is put together.
