Should Windows 7 Have It’s Own Blog?

On Tuesday, May 27, 2008, over on the Windows Vista Blog we received some tid-bits of what the future may hold on Microsoft’s latest operating system dubbed Windows 7. Though the blog entry provided more of a press release rather than any solid information, the question is should Microsoft have a separate blog for Windows 7?

On the Windows Vista Blog site it was stated:

Another question we often get asked is whether Windows 7 is a major release. The answer is “yes”  – it’s hard to describe any product that is used by millions of people and worked on by thousands of engineers as anything else. That said, the long-term architectural investments we introduced in Windows Vista and then refined for Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 will carry forward in Windows 7. Windows Vista established a very solid foundation, particularly on subsystems such as graphics, audio, and storage. Windows Server 2008 was built on that foundation and Windows 7 will be as well. Contrary to some speculation, Microsoft is not creating a new kernel for Windows 7. Rather, we are refining the kernel architecture and componentization model introduced in Windows Vista.  While these changes will increase our engineering agility, they will not impact the user experience or reduce application or hardware compatibility. In fact, one of our design goals for Windows 7 is that it will run on the recommended hardware we specified for Windows Vista and that the applications and devices that work with Windows Vista will be compatible with Windows 7.

In reading the entire blog entry, there is nothing specific as to what Windows 7 will offer that will be different than Vista. Does the public have a right to know what Windows 7 will offer compared to Vista? Do we need to know that for those who have chosen to stick with Windows XP, and have skipped Vista, that Windows 7 will offer an overwhelming reason to upgrade?

I believe we do have a need to know. I also believe that Windows 7 should have it’s own blog site dedicated for the new operating system.

What do you think? Do we have a need and or right to know what’s up?
