I was wondering how VC++ 4.0 got the Win95 certification logo?

I *think* it falls down in two areas which are required for the Win95
logo.  It's possible there are others....
  - No support for MAPI (no mail support)
  - Not an OLE container or server (I'm not 100% sure on this one)
  
Now you might argue whether or not these would be useful for the
program to support, but the logo requirements don't provide this
leeway.  I ran across this when I wanted to mail a file to someone
from inside of VC++, so I would have found that useful.

2nd Question:  Does Microsoft have an alternate route to receive the
logo other than going through VeriTest?
