How to Really Search for Results

My question is why doesn’t the Microsoft website have any information about the new operating system easily available?

If you do a search for "Windows 7" on the Microsoft website you get a bunch results, but none of the top ones are related to Windows 7. Most of them are related to Internet Explorer 7. One link is back to the main Microsoft homepage.

There’s another result that turns up as result #9 that’s listed as Windows 7 End user license agreement. That’s not what I really wanted though. You’d think you could shorten the basic English URL http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/eula.aspx to take off the last specific page and find something at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ right? Not so much.

Why in the world can I not easily find information about Windows 7 on their own website.
