Nigel,
I agree that any product on the list is supported but it does not mean that
a product not on the list is not supported. It only means that the vendor
of the product had not submitted the product to MS for the logo
qualification program.
Following is a quote from the beginning of the listing.
"
This is an initial list of compatible products. The list will grow as
products get submitted into the logo program.
"
It certainly would be nice if the different groups at MS got in sync so that
other products that they have qualified as working such as the HP and Xbox
extender or WinDVD6 appeared instead of only the ones that the manufacturer
paid them to list.
