XPe Resource Guide from PSS
Our cohorts in PSS that are dedicated to XP Embedded are constantly thinking about our customers and how to improve your experience. The odds are good that if you contact PSS Mark Chamberlain may be one of the guys that takes your case. Last year, when Mark took stock of all the resources available to our customers to help themselves he found whitepapers on MSDN, technical articles, FAQs, Tips 'n Tricks, dozens of links to we were constantly providing to our customers over the phone, in mail and via the newsgroups to address their concerns or issues.
While all of this is a good thing, what's not good is that it's all over the place. There is no easy way for our customers to find some of this stuff themselves if they're not very familiar with navigating through the labyrinths of MSDN. To help address this, Mark started compiling this information into a living document the product team and PSS used internally, soon this thing turned into a labor of love for Mark and it became just about the Bible of XPe and how/where to find information to help yourself.
This document is available for you to download, it's a 123 page doc that you really need to have on your dev machine, when you have a question start there before diving into the newsgroups or MSDN.
Visit this Support page to download the doc, looks like it's been translated into French, German, Spanish and Japanese as well!

I was talking about internal program resources
That white paper sounds great.... why don't they print that stuff up and send it out in a binder called "DOCUMENTATION" instead of wasting time on that weanie Help button
