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.

OSNews isn't looking for instances of MS and Microsoft with dollar signs and doing some swift string replacement, is it?
Cool huh? Technically, we could replace each of your comments with comments that actually matter, and we could replace my comments with ones that aren't totally pointless.
My, wouldn't that improve OSNews.

Cool huh?
Sigh........... Not really. It's just exceptionally...................sad. At first it was funny, but I do feel just a tad sorry for you.
It's sad on one level in the blase manner in which you admit it. It's even more sad on another level in that it is far more sad that code would be written to protect you and us from all those 'unfunny' jokes and comments than those very same 'unfunny' jokes and comments you want to try and eradicate.
One can only hope that other companies, individuals and projects are getting the same equal and completely even handed treatment from all those dastardly 'jokes' people might make.
Technically, we could replace each of your comments with comments that actually matter
I didn't know comments 'mattered'. What would be even better is posting articles that matter and having an even handed and knowledgeable attitude to each, and accepting what you don't agree with. That might help even more ;-).
Besides, I don't know what kind of comment you think will 'matter' to this article.
My, wouldn't that improve OSNews.
Too late.

And technically all of us can stop reading this website if it's censored by some Macbook swinging artsy student that doesn't have a clue about computers.
Technically this website is for entertainment only, news site, with little of other value so reading it is not a good time investment.
Linux users are much better served by going to Linux oriented sites, and likewise Windows and Mac users.
And it's not like there aren't tons of other competing sites with content very similar to OSNews.
So, yeah, OSNews can die as fast as it came to be popular if you piss off enough people Thom.

Ironically, it wasn't meant as a Microsoft or MS style joke (oh, what a surprise, dollar signs are converted to S here so you'll have to use your imagination - how original!), and there are an awful lot of different ways of justifying it. I didn't really think I'd have to go through them....................again.
$$$$$$$ - Mmmmm, but they seem to come out OK here. I wonder...........
O$News - Hmmmmmmm, that looks OK.
MS - Yes, there was a dollar sign there........ Hmmm.........
Microsoft - Yes, I did put a dollar sign where the 's' was. Hmmmmmmmm, that's not coming out edited either. Strange. OSNews isn't looking for instances of MS and Microsoft with dollar signs and doing some swift string replacement, is it?
Cheers Thom. I did circuit training last night, but you've just given me the biggest stomach muscle workout I've ever had :-D.
