Windows 7 has been making waves around the net for a while now, and we already know some of the more encompassing goals of Microsoft's next operating system release. It's going to be built on top of the foundations laid out by Vista and Server 2008, but it will not increase hardware requirements. There's going to be a multitouch framework, and a new mystery taskbar. That's more or less all we know. Microsoft also said they were going to be more tight-lipped during the development process, something they will continue to do, but they did open a blog today:
Engineering Windows 7. The E7 blog is written by Jon DeVaan and Steven Sinofsky, two senior engineering managers for the Windows 7 product.

Hey Thom, we know you have to deal with a lot of crap from lot of ignorant muppets but it might be helpful to be a little less sensitive about (sarcastic) jokes about Vista? That way your neutrality you strive for as an editor remains unquestioned. And yes, it was a daft joke, but some people are amused by such things (even if it isn't you or I).
