Windows The Engineering 7 blog continues its trend of detailing the real issues that people deal with when it comes to Windows. 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 was reading a trade journal the other day where sinofsky was talking about the expectations they built up during vista development by the transparency in the communication. People expected everything that was talked about every step of the way, and felt ripped off when they didn't get it. He said with 7 they are going to try being translucent instead of transparent, and I assume this blog is how they moved forward on that.

Don't expect anything except high level stuff from the windows team until they are almost ready to ship. All communication is going to be about process rather then progress.
