from Peggy Yu
Senior Manager, ISV Development,
Upload.com | As I write this, I'm getting ready to head out to east to SIC in Quincy, MA. I have some meetings already scheduled with some of you - but if you are heading out there as well and want to meet, please do email me. I'm looking forward to meeting more of our Upload.com software publisher community. In other big news, this week, you will see that your product page on CNET Downloads has a new look and feel - it's received rave reviews over here and I hope you all will like it too. The goal was to move the content users find most compelling and useful higher up on the page. There will also be opportunities with this new design to help software publishers promote and sell their paid products. Be sure to check out the new page.
 Also, we've had quite an influx of new software publishers recently - Welcome! So, to facilitate your introduction to CNET Upload.com and CNET Downloads, we've included some tips on how to navigate through Upload.com. Finally, we're spotlighting another Upload.com publisher - meet Marc Gregoire of NuonSoft. A passionate programmer and a C++ guru, be sure to read more about Marc below. Off to catch my flight, Peggy | Publisher's corner
Got a C++ question? He's your go-to guy.  "I always liked writing programs," said Marc Gregoire of NuonSoft. His passion for programming encouraged him to participate in a programming competition, hosted by a Belgium computer magazine and although he didn't win, he continued with his project and NuonSoft was later born. Every program he has developed was written with a specific purpose in mind and his products now include a MediaBrowser, Wallpaper Cycler, FileEngineer and ShellEnhancer. As an active member of Upload.com and a Button Partner for the past 7-8 years, he continues to develop and update his programs to meet the rapidly changing technology demands with the most recent update to his flagship product, Wallpaper Cycler Pro and Wallpaper Cycler Lite.
When he's not making updates or supporting his end users, Marc can be found devoting much of his time as a forum moderator for CodeGuru.com, where he helps others with their C++ problems. This has earned him a Microsoft MVP Professional status in the C++ category and continues to maintain his MVP status for the subsequent years. In rare cases when he's not coding or moderating the forums, Marc can be found biking, traveling or practicing his quadrilingual skills in German, Dutch, French and English. If you also have a story to tell and would like to share it with the rest of the Upload.com community, please email us!
