Hi All,
One of my clients just asked me if Delphi is a Windows XP Logo App. It
sounds silly, but I have no idea, and we couldn't find it on the Borland
website. Does anyone know? (or can point me where to look, please?)
Thanks in advance!
Groetjes,

Did this client say why he wanted to know that?
Because he is not running Delphi I assume, so it would make more sense to
ask if the apps you make for him are Windows XP logo certified.

Easy way to know: Look at the box of any product,like delphi, if say
"designed for Windows restart anything" then yes.

certified? And why would a vendor go there? Certification at that level
always seemed to me to be insurance for end-users.

First of all, no-one is forced to do anything - if you don't want the logo
or don't think it'll help your product then don't get it. Virtually all of
the logo criteria in any way relating to the GUI are associated with
Accessibility features, and all of them make perfect sense and provide a
clear benefit. The only other GUI requirements are to support XP visual
styles and author high quality icons.
If you think that it is "clean" GUI design to ignore user preferences and
deny users access to features unless they work in the method and environment
that you prescribe then that is fine. Personally I would use the terms lazy and
arrogant, but that is just me.
Incidentally there's no XP Logo on the Delphi box.
