In preparation for the public unveiling of Windows 7 tomorrow, Microsoft has renamed its flagship blog. The Windows Blog has a new look to go with its new name. It’s down at the moment as the upgrade goes through, but I was able to sneak a peek this morning while it was very briefly live. It looks remarkably like builds of Windows 7 that I’ve seen. Something tells me there will be a bunch of new stuff there tomorrow.
Ironically, windows7.com and windows7blog.com are owned by domain-squatters, as is windowssevenblog.com. And windowsblog.com is apparently a Greek site, offering “Aegean windows” for gracious Mediterranean living. It’s hard to find a good domain name, apparently.
Update: Looks like someone at Microsoft managed to snag the windows7.com domain, whoch now works properly. Thanks to an anonymous commenter for the tip.
Thanks Ed the post talking about our blog relaunch! We hope to do something that works in regards to the domain situation but in the meantime the site is accessible via windowsvistablog.com and eventually the URL will be windowsteamblog.com.
Thanks,
Brandon
@Brandon LeBlanc – Why not use something like WindowsBlog.MS? Microsoft has used .ms domains in the past… additionally Microsoft.com/WindowsBlog might work.
When I go to windows7.com, via Google, it redirects me to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ The other URLs take me to other sites.
