Engineering 8: Microsoft’s Windows 8 Blog to be Determined…
With the latest news of estimated Windows 8, Windows Server 2012 and Office 2012 RTM dates, I was reminded of something I ran across a while back but never posted about. The Microsoft Windows 7 blog, Engineering 7, gained quite the following during its tenure. It was a way for Microsoft to be transparent about some of their thinking for Windows 7 and to gain valuable feedback from customers the world around. Well, thanks to an apparent placeholder page on MSDN, it appears Microsoft is going to do it again with Windows 8!
Personally, I’m excited that Microsoft is choosing to go this route again with the development of Windows and for those of you who are also excited about it, be sure to add their blog feed so that if/when they start posting, you’ll be the first to know:

And I don’t know if the following form is connected to a live email address, but why not go ahead and show your interest for Windows 8 and the Engineering 8 blog by sending them a message? Who knows, maybe one of us will actually hear back from someone (doubtful, but you never know).
Engineering 8 Placeholder: TBD…
*It appears blog.prabir.me made this same observation back in October of 2009, so kudos to him for the initial find!

IE6? Are you serious?
LOL! I was wondering if anyone would catch that, hahaha. I’m at work and they’re still stuck on XP without allowing any upgrades to the browser (I work for a bank, so they have things under lock-and-key).
a bank using ie6? thats kinda scary too
*cuts up credit cards & closes accounts*
hahaha, indeed, Kamic! Quite scary when you learn how this stuff goes on internally… and how they think upgrading is a *bad* thing. It’s like they get stuck in this mentality that because something has been out forever, that it’s no longer prone to being attacked. Never mind how good the new stuff actually is. ><
