Well we all made it through another year here at ActiveNetwork and our entire staff would like to thank all our viewers for your continued support since our conception back in 1997. With all the additions over the years we think we have certainly come a long way since then.

Our current site, ActiveWin.com, was created by Robert Stein, Byron Hinson and Wayne Flyers in 1997 after the succession from the original site ActiveIE.com, with the goal of providing the latest Microsoft company news, information, downloads, drivers, tips, support, software news, hardware news, and much more. On June 25, 1998 the site you see today was opened. Feel free to take a look on how far we have actually come.

Since our first draft of ActiveIE on pipex.co.uk, our main goal has been providing the best information to our audiences and with a little luck we hope that we will be able to do this for many years in the future. We hope we can continue to be your "Ultimate Resource" site on 'Net.

From that day on, our main goal has been to expand our content to provide essential information to a vast array of audiences. We've expanded since with the release of ActiveDVD, ActiveXbox, ActiveHardware, ActiveMac, new sections and more. Thanks to the massive usefulness of technology, we are in the process of transforming our site with information systems that allow us to provide more news and content to a larger group of people in a more efficient manner. Knowing the fact that our audience is a group of knowledgeable, technological advantaged individuals with information and concepts to share, we are implementing various user feedback features such as "story comments" and public forum.

We certainly hope 2004 will be a very prosperous year for our site and all of us here hope all of you are looking forward to what we have in store for you. Again, from all of us here at ActiveNetwork we wish everybody out there a happy and safe new year!
