Woody’s WINDOWS Watch is merging with Brian Livingston’s “Brian's Buzz on Windows” newsletter to form the new Windows Secrets Newsletter.

You’ll still get top rate news and tips on Windows – at no charge to you – only with a new masthead.  Your WWW subscription will continue automatically with the new name of Windows Secrets Newsletter. 

Since 1998, Woody’s WINDOWS Watch has been watching Windows and keeping its readers informed about the good, bad and downright unstable with it and the growing avalanche of patches.  In the last few issues we’ve given a fearless overview of the upcoming Windows XP Service Pack 2.

The Windows Secrets Newsletter is edited by Brian Livingston, the co-author of "Windows 2000 Secrets" and "Windows Me Secrets."  Woody Leonhard, Peter Deegan, and other writers will continue to contribute articles.  The combination of our two newsletters will enable us to send you the latest tips and alerts on Microsoft Windows on a regular basis, twice a month.  By combining forces, we can give you a better newsletter on a predictable schedule.

You'll receive a welcome message on July 19 and your first combined newsletter issue on July 22.  The combined newsletter will contain more details about the merger and give you even more content about the inner workings of Windows.  We think you'll like the new, stronger package however, but you always have the option to stop receiving the publication.

The Windows Secrets Newsletter will be continuing the WWW preview of SP2 with news of the public release and any problems with the major update to Windows XP in the real world.

A few important points:

• The privacy policy of the Windows Secrets Newsletter is similar to that which applied to WWW. Specifically, your email address is private and only used to send you the newsletter and newsletter updates.
• Your WWW subscription will continue with our new name, the Windows Secrets Newsletter, automatically. Be sure to add our new "From" address to your e-mail program or anti-spam system, as described below.
• As with WWW, you have the option to unsubscribe / leave the Windows Secrets Newsletter at any time.  See below for details.
• There is no change to the rest of Woody’s Watch. Woody’s OFFICE Watch, Office for Mere Mortals, Access Watch and Email Essentials will continue publishing as before.

Making sure you get Windows Secrets

As many readers know, there is a variety of anti-spam products operating to filter email.  Some are on your computer and others are controlled by your ISP.  Sometimes these measures mistakenly block legitimate newsletters like those from Woody’s Watch and now Windows Secrets.

We have no control over these anti-spam measures, we can only send an issue to the people who ask for it and hope it arrives at its destination.

If you have control over your anti-spam systems then we suggest you do this to increase your chances of getting the new merged publication:

To make sure you continue to receive the newsletter, you should add our new "From" address or domain to your e-mail program's Address Book and any "whitelist" or "approved senders list" it uses.  Either the entire domain WindowsSecrets.com or the specific Editor@ email address we’ll use:
