Microsoft officially launched its Windows 8 Blog this Monday, with Steve Sinofsky posting the first entry on Monday entitled "Welcome to Building Windows 8".

In the post, Sinofsky outlines the purpose of the blog, which is to give us an insight into Windows 8 itself.

He said "For the Windows team, this blog is an important part of developing Windows 8, as was our blog for Windows 7. Blogging allows us to have a two-way dialog with you about design choices, real-world data and usage, and new opportunities that are part of Windows 8. Together, we will start the unique adventure of bringing a major product to market. We’re genuinely excited to talk about the development of Windows 8 and to engage thoughtfully with the community of passionate end-users, developers, and information professionals."

He ended by encouraging users to send feedback on the blog and suggestions for future topics to discuss.
