Click is a Microsoft blog about Windows and the Digital Life. "It is 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".

There are so many blogs about Microsoft some of tem are official and some of them are written by business journalists who represents Microsoft. Click is Microsoft’s Official Windows Help blog. Even though I mentioned ‘Click’ as a help blog it’s more than that. See it for yourself.

I discovered this blog in the Exploring Windows Newsletter from Microsoft which I received on September 19 so I thought the ‘Click’ blog was launched this week. But when I checked the archive I found that it was launched on July 10.

Microsoft on its first post Welcome to Click says that whether it’s a question about Windows or Microsoft, or even 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".
