Windows learns a thing or two from the world of blogging

As part of Microsoft’s efforts to promote its Windows projects, the Windows team is launching a new initiative -- a blog to promote its new upcoming Windows 7 operating system. The new blog is titled Engineering Windows 7 and the first post went online August 14 at about 5 PM. The blog is going to provide exclusive insight from Microsoft's development team about the progress of the OS.
The first blog, unsurprisingly, comes from Windows senior vice presidents Jon DeVaan and Steven Sinofsky. The pair has already stated that official engineering details will not be fully discussed until October 27 at the Professional Developers' Conference in Los Angeles. However, they hope to drop a few hints in the blog, along with getting feedback from what people hope to see with Windows 7.
The pair writes:
The audience of enthusiasts, bloggers, and those that are the most passionate about Windows represent the folks we are dedicating this blog to. With this blog we’re opening up a two-way discussion about how we are making Windows 7. Windows has all the challenges of every large scale software project—picking features, designing them, developing them, and delivering them with high quality. Windows has an added challenge of doing so for an extraordinarily diverse set of customers. As a team and as individuals on the team we continue to be humbled by this responsibility.
