Microsoft Manual of Style 3rd Edition - Pub'd 2003?

[Barbara Vega]

How weird
 
Our GUI uses "login" so I've got to follow that.
 
"Log on" smacks of connecting to a network. Our software can be
standalone or set up as a service for Web clients. 
 
Ahh well. We could argue that for days.
 
Anyway - Thanks everyone for your help.
 
If it is 6/2004 I guess that's not too old. But I think it's about time
for a new edition.
 
Anyway I have proceeded to telling my boss to ordering a few of these.
 
Thanks again everybody!
 
Barbara

than in, so the terms you'll find in MSMoS are "logon" and "log on". "
