There's no shortage of blogs about Microsoft these days. Some are written by business journalists who cover the company. Others are cranked out by Microsoft insiders—the product managers, designers and sleep-deprived code jockeys who actually create the software.

Interesting stuff if you're a business junkie or a programming geek. But what if you're not?

Welcome to Click.

Click is a Microsoft blog for the rest of us—a place to share stories, blow off steam, swap tips, get help and talk shop about Microsoft Windows and the other technologies in our lives.  So whether you're an armchair technophile or you're still learning your way around the keyboard, we think you'll find something worth checking out here each week. (So go on and click that RSS feed button at the top of the page...we know you don't wanna miss a single word!)

Who are we?

We're a team of Microsoft writers and editors who help create Windows. We write many of the words you see in the software, from the sublime poetry (humor alert) of "Shutting down" to the rich archive of built-in help articles that explain how to do stuff and solve problems with your Windows PC. All these articles, as well as cool how-to videos, columns and much more, are also available at Windows Help and How-to, Microsoft's official online Windows help center.  We run this too, so check it out!

Some of us are former technology journalists who've worked for daily newspapers and magazines like Popular Science, PC World and National Geographic Adventure. Others here earned their nerd creds at Boeing and NASA.

What unites us is a passion for technology—and irritation at the unnecessary complications and confusing techno-babble that often go along with it. As Wall Street Journal technology columnist Walt Mossberg once wrote: "Personal computers are too hard to use, and it's not your fault." At Microsoft, we're doing our best to make PCs easier to use (hey, we have to live with this stuff too, you know)—but we know there's more work to be done.

So whether it's a question about Windows or Microsoft, a suggestion for improving Windows Help—or just some random musing about life in the digital age, we hope you'll join the conversation at Click.
