As you may have noticed, the Windows team at Microsoft have been quiet during the early stages of the design and development process for Windows 7 and there are good reasons behind this decision. You can find out more about the reasoning in the newly created E7 blog:
"Related to disclosure is the idea of how we make sure not to set expectations around the release that end up disappointing you—features that don’t make it, claims that don’t stick, or support we don’t provide. Starting from the first days of developing Windows 7, we have committed as a team to “promise and deliver”. That’s our goal—share with you what we’re going to get done, why we’re doing it, and deliver it with high quality and on time."
The E7 blog is hosted by Jon DeVaan and Steven Sinofsky where they will talk about the project and receive feedback from the community so make sure you subscribe to the E7 blog.
