Microsoft has made a decision to retire the Windows Clubhouse in Spring 2011. As Clubhouse was a launch effort around Windows 7, the Windows management team feels that this platform has been a great success and huge factor around Windows evangelism.
That was very much due to all of the MVP participation. But as our users move from Windows 7 newbies to more seasoned users, we are creating a new platform around Windows enthusiasts that we feel better suits the community’s needs. We have some ideas around how this platform should work but will be sharing more details in due course, says Matt Bernardy, Social Media Marketing Manager, Windows.
Microsoft has also launched a new blog aimed at enthusiasts and power users which it deems worthy of the impressive title ‘The Extreme Windows Blog’.
For Extreme Windows – Microsoft is defining enthusiast as someone with the following characteristics:
- Passion for Technology – Someone who (IS) excited for technology and is always interested in learning more about and using the latest technology.
- Understands the value of technology – Someone who is willing to spend what it takes to get top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art, and bleeding-edge technology.
- Is a source of knowledge for others – Someone whose family, friends, co-workers and others rely on for great technology advice.
