For those who could possibly be locating the Engineering Windows 7 blog just a little … theoretical … for their tastes, there;s a new Microsoft-backed Windows seven blog that;s just started up.The Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) “Windows seven Weblog for Developers” is just what it;s name indicates, according to the first post, dated October 23.“This blog will mainly focus on the development aspects of Windows 7 by providing valuable content for developers….By valuable content we mean that this weblog will be a ‘one stop shop; on the road to get yourself familiar with what Windows 7 has to offer for developers and how you can ‘Light-Up; using Windows 7 features in your application.”Poster “J” admitted that the new weblog is meant to address a piece of the market Microsoft has neglected with Vista. From the post:“(T)his weblog is part of an effort to highlight Windows seven development story,
Office Professional 2010, a story that for some reason got lost with Windows Vista. As part of the Windows 7 Evangelism team and as developers, we hope, together with you and the rest of the community will be able to create an open and direct dialog about developing for Windows seven.”Microsoft also has started another
Windows 7-related blog, known as the Springboard Series blog, which it is aiming at IT professionals. According to the first post on that site by Windows Client IT Pro Director Celine Allee, the Windows client division will use this site to help business users make sense of “the speculation out there.”(Thanks to Bink.nu for the pointer to the Windows 7 Developer weblog.)
