EventLog class / Windows event logs

[Zytan]

What's a Window event log? EventLog documentation basically assumes
the reader knows what it is. It says the following:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib....eventlog.aspx

"EventLog lets you access or customize Windows event logs, which
record information about important software or hardware events."

"Applications and services should write to the Application log or a
custom log. Device drivers should write to the System log."

"Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition Platform Note: Event logs are
not supported on Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition (Me)."

Is there a quick explanation of what they are?

Believe it or not, wikipedia is the usual source I go to to ask
questions like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_Viewer

It seems to be the endless source for questions sometimes.

I believe it, I used it all the time for stuff like this. I just
didn't find this in my searches for it. Thanks
