News on Windows 7 soon?

For months there has been almost nothing new about Windows 7, the successor to Vista. In fact, there has been more written about Midori, which is some years further down the road. But a new Microsoft blog about Windows 7 has just appeared. Ed Bott comments:

The incredibly tight veil of secrecy around Windows 7 is about to lift, at least a little.

After months of information lockdown, Microsoft is ready to begin talking about the next version of Windows. The first bits of information come from the very top, with a new blog that was unveiled today on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN). Given the location, it’s not surprising that its name is Engineering Windows 7 and that its focus will be on “the overall engineering aspects of building Windows 7.”

There’s no actual information there yet but if you want to read some Microsoft-speak, the opening post is at this link.

Added later: Mary Jo Foley is skeptical that this new blog is going to be very forthcoming with any real information. She thinks it’s a “PR vehicle”.
