Alas, Windows Pro is gone, (discontinued 11/98) but not forgotten. I wrote many different kinds of articles over the years for the magazine, which began life as Windows Sources. And thanks to Jackie Gavron, I had the opportunity to work with one of the best editors in the business. Jackie is one of those rare editor types who actually adds value to her writers' stories by constantly pushing them to do better. This archive of articles is a testimonial to her wisdom, charm, and overall high quality and class.
Given that ZDnet may change or delete some of these ancient articles, you can download an archive using Catch The Web and view the pages using this tool.
