Windows 7 – No complaining policy “Quit Complaining”

Windows 7 is not quite a “Vista service jam।” It does share a fate of the meat tech, and was noticeably designed to hole virtually each bad gadget everybody thought not far off from Vista. Which ironically puts the fiend with the aim of it was demanding to purge by the side of its feeling. What with the aim of channel is with the aim of Windows 7 is pardon? Vista ought to maintain been in the shared eye—a solid OS with sufficiently of contemporary eye toffee with the aim of mostly succeeds in taking Windows usability into the 21st century—but it doesn’t daringly innovate or motivation boundaries or smash down walls or whatever verb meets solid object metaphor you hunger to wear out, for the reason that it had a particular collection of obligations to join, courtesy of its ancestor.

Windows 7 Server Is Not Windows Server 2008 R2!

The Internet community that is following the development of the next Microsoft operating system codenamed Windows 7 has seen some speculation and false rumors about the release of Windows 7 Server lately. Many blog writers jumped to the conclusion that the announced Windows Server 2008 R2 would indeed be the same as Windows 7 Server.
It probably started with Mary-Jo Foley’s article over at Zdnet which basically stated that it was confirmed that Microsoft would skip Windows Server 2008 R2 and publish Windows 7 Server directly. Three days later Mary-Jo backpedaled on her initial article stating that Windows Server 2008 R2 was alive and on schedule to be released roughly 2 years after the release of Windows Server 2008. (That’s roughly 18 months from now).
On the other hand the internal codename for Windows Server 2008 R2 is Windows 7 Server which has definitely some irony it it because it’s also the name of the next installment of Windows Server after Windows Server 2008 R2 for the general public.
To rest the case: Windows Server 2008 R2 will be published as scheduled and the Windows Server product coming after that release will be Windows 7 Server which will probably have a different name by then.

Windows 7 Development Team

A few days ago we mentioned the new blog called Engineering Windows 7 which was run by two core members of the Windows 7 development team who promised to update the general public on Windows 7 news. Most likely in an effort to reduce the amount of rumors circulating the Internet and getting more control on the news flow.
Steven Sinofsky published a very long post today which contains interesting information about the Windows 7 team structure of the development team.
Microsoft is using so called feature teams of which there are 25 currently contributing to the development of Windows 7. The teams average about 40 developers which would mean a core development crew of around 1000 developers for Windows 7.
In general a feature team encompasses ownership of combination of architectural components and scenarios across Windows. “Feature” is always a tricky word since some folks think of feature as one element in the user-interface and others think of the feature as a traditional architectural component (say TCP/IP). Our approach is to balance across scenarios and architecture such that we have the right level of end-to-end coverage and the right parts of the architecture. One thing we do try to avoid is separating the “plumbing” from the “user interface” so that teams do have end-to-end ownership of work (as an example of that, “Find and Organize” builds both the indexer and the user interface for search).
He goes on to describe the exact composition of a feature team:
A feature team represents three core engineering disciplines of software development engineers (sde or dev), software development engineers in test (sdet or test, sorry but I haven’t written a job description externally), and program managers (pm)….
We talk about these three disciplines together because we create feature teams with n developers, n testers, and 1/2n program managers. This ratio is pretty constant across the team. On average a feature team is about 40 developers across the Windows 7 project.
This means that to the 1000 developers 1000 testers and 500 program managers are working on Windows 7. Now those are numbers calculated from the numbers given in the article. Those are also only the development numbers.
Several core members work across the entire product, those are the writers that create the documentations, manuals and websites related to Windows 7, members who do customer research and select features, designers who produce a consistent design and members who perform research and usability tests.

Engineering Windows 7

Windows 7 News! There is finally a sign of life, an official that is, from Microsoft about Windows 7. Microsoft kicked of the Engineering Windows 7 blog which is run by two senior engineering managers for the Windows 7 product. The interesting aspect of this specific Windows 7 blog is that it is maintained and run by Microsoft employees that are deeply involved in the creation of Windows 7 and that it aims for a two-way communication instead of just reports without interaction.
We strongly believe that success for Windows 7 includes an open and honest, and two-way, discussion about how we balance all of these interests and deliver software on the scale of Windows. We promise and will deliver such a dialog with this blog.
Two events for developers have been mentioned in their initial blog post where Microsoft will provide “in-depth technical information about Windows 7″ and that the blog will inform interested users with regular posts about behind the scene developments. The two events mentioned are PDC (Professional Developers Conference) on October 27 and WinHec (Windows Hardware Engineering Conference) a week later. Seems we have to wait two more months before we finally get detailed information about the Windows 7 plattform.
The last paragraph is especially interesting and comments on the flow of news since the first announcement of Windows 7. Microsoft is trying to gain control of the discussion and communication about Windows 7 which is understandable. Rumors have been filling the void space that Microsoft left by not talking to anyone outside about Windows 7 and it’s time to control the information flow as we are slowly seeing the finish line in sight.
They also mention that they want to “make sure not to set expectations around the release that end up disappointing you” which was a major error Microsoft made during Windows Vista development.

Microsoft Has Nothing To Say About Windows 7 Server

A Microsoft software development team is working on the successor of Windows Server 2008 just like the Windows 7 development team is working on Windows Vista’s successor. There is however a huge time difference between expected releases for Windows 7 and Windows 7 Server mainly caused by the expected release of Windows Server 2008 R2 around 2009/2010 which is exactly the date that Windows 7 is expected to hit the shelves.
This could mean a projected release date of 2011/2012 for Windows 7 Server, almost 4 years away from today and 1-2 years after the release of Windows 7.

Windows 7 End user license agreement

Is it news to report that Microsoft has created an almost blank page that will contain the Windows 7 End user license agreement? The page at Microsoft.com states that pages about the Windows 7 Eula, Windows 7 Privacy Statement, Windows Media Player, Activation and Validation are coming soon.
I think that it will definitely be interesting to see which additions and changes have been made to the Windows 7 Eula in comparison to that of Windows Vista and Window XP. To answer the question; Yes it is news, especially when it is concerning Windows 7 which has not seen any news in the last days.
