Would you like to rub shoulders with some of the folks at Microsoft who actually want to hear your input? People that want to hear what you think? Well now is your chance. There is a new web site from Microsoft called ‘Talking About Windows’ that has just launched and is being manned but some of the Microsoft team that has worked on Windows 7.
Here are those being featured on the new site:
Mark RussinovichMicrosoft, Technical FellowMeet Mark Russinovich, Technical Fellow - arguably someone who needs no introduction, how is he influencing the next versions of Windows - and why does he think there is no security silver bullet?
Jon DevaanMicrosoft Sr VP Windows Core Operating SystemMeet Jon Devaan, Sr VP Windows Operating System - hear what’s behind the Windows 7 engineering process and his personal accountability for Windows 7.
Gabriel AulMicrosoft, Director of Program ManagementMeet Gabe Aul, Director of Program Management - he and his team oversee the fundamentals of reliability, security, performance, and compatibility for Windows 7 and they are listening to what you have to say.
Sharif FaragMicrosoft, Senior Lead Program ManagerMeet Sharif Farag, Senior Lead Program Manager - is Green IT a nirvana or reality? Can you really get energy savings from PC management with the latest OS innovations? How does battery life get extended?
So once you start to get your feet wet with Windows 7 RC or even the beta, stop by and see what is being said. You can also post your thoughts and feelings about Windows 7.
Talking About Windows Site Is Here.

I think it would be nice if your blog actually displayed links to things you are writing about, like a link tho the Windows 7 site, rather than misleading links about air conditioners and such. When you get this sorted out, let me know, and I’ll come back to read your blog. Thanks,
Fred

I call Windows 7 “Vista SE”:
So far I see:
The same ho-hum performance as Vista.
IE 8 has been backported, I have it but I use Opera so I don’t care.
Windows Media Player 12 will be backported, but Windows Media Player 12 has some weird new DRM that blocks the user from using FLAC or Vorbis codecs, so I will likely skip that.
DirectX 11 will be backported, apparently MS has learned their lessons with their asinine/arbitrary refusal to support DX 10 on XP in a bid to get more upgraders (which didn’t help and only made DX 9 the least common denominator).
UAC is a little less chatty and annoying, but I turned off the warnings (but not UAC) off, so I could still use registry virtualization and so IE is still sandboxed when I have to open it.
The UI has been given some minor unimportant tweaking that I don’t care about.
It supports $600+ touchscreens that I won’t ever buy.
According to most MS technical documents, Windows Vista with SP2 and a few other upgrades should be compatible with Windows 7.
Windows 7 appears to be an unimportant release that I have no reason at all to buy, and especially not for hundreds of dollars.
Wake me up when they improve performance or add something I care about.
