Microsoft has launched a blog to keep the world abreast of progress on its next-gen Windows 7 operating system.Hosted by Microsoft SVPs Jon DeVaan and Steven Sinofsky, the Engineering Windows 7 (E7) blog aims to get a dialogue flowing among the company, partners and customers. "Windows has all the challenges of every large scale software project -- picking features, designing them, developing them, and delivering them with high quality...We strongly believe that success for Windows 7 includes an open and honest, and two-way, discussion about how we balance all of these interests and deliver software on the scale of Windows," states the first blog entry.
