The electronics world will never cease to amaze with the amount of intrigue that it can come up with.  However, when millions of dollars are at stake on every single decision that a major company makes, we can perhaps forgive them for playing their cards close to their chest.

If this type of cagey behaviour is understandable under normal circumstances, it is perhaps especially understandable for a company like Microsoft that has had its clocked cleaned on a regular basis over the last few years starting with the Windows Vista fiasco and ending with Apple’s near-complete takeover of the mobile marketplace for electronic devices.

However, Microsoft did release something new today by launching a blog for Windows 7.  This blog will be written by people getting their talking points directly from Steven Sinofsky, the person that is the de facto head of the Windows 7 project.

According to Sinofsky, the blog is intended to bridge the gap between the current complete lack of knowledge regarding Windows 7 (aside from the much ado about nothing announcement regarding the fact that it will have Multitouch functionality, something that was already expected) and the October 27 Professional Developers Conference during which more details will be released regarding the new operating system in development.

The bottom line is that people that want real information regarding the details of Windows 7 will likely be put on hold until October 27th.  However, if you want more bits and pieces to try and put things together yourself, maintaining an eye on the Windows 7 blog might definitely be a good idea.
