We have already covered their insights, usage data, and mea culpas concerning the taskbar, as well as their musings on window management. The latest entry on the E7 blog deals with a controversial Windows issue: User Account Control. The usage data has some interesting results, to say the least.

i agree with you, thats my biggest fear. they had 6 years to collect statistics like this and there were plenty of opportunities ot in xp "would you liek to join the user bla bla bla program?"
with that being said, where was the thought process when making vista? but i am not mad at them for vista, they needed a flop to make them rethink things, make them go with this more open comunication model. it appears they have learned from this mistake.
so to anyone from MS who reads this. Don't rush Windows 7, dont set a date and extract features or enhancements to get there. if it gets done "when it's done" thats fine. just do it right and continue this open dialog you have going via the blog. we, the consumers, will be happy to wait for a polished product, but will be far less forgiving if the mistakes of the past are repeated. that being said, so far so good, you have my attention and i am impressed. keep it up.
