Newsgroup for Windows 7

Sorry about posting this in the Vista newsgroup but I can't find any
newsgroup dealing with Windows 7, are there any?
I need to ask a couple of questions in regards XP Mode, if there
aren't any newsgroups for Windows 7 what would be the next best place
to ask?

 

For reasons best known to Microsoft there are now two web-based forums.

The newer one is
and
the older, originally for the beta and RC, is
.

So, you've talked to all the professionals about the Web? You know that for
a fact? Seems you are blowing smoke out your ass again. Especially from
someone who has no clue how to change the time on his PC.

What you are afraid of is changing the time on your clock. That scares you
to death. Other technology is way over your head. I am surprised that you
can type.

sorry for the typos? Sure, you don't even know how to change the time on
your clock so spelling and using Spell Check is way over your head. I am
sure you had to have someone help you with the task.

Because it wrecks the flow of conversation.
Why is top-posting bad?

Never listen to a top-poster, they are googlers.
And copy/paste'ers

 

Until Win7 is officially released, the only support on is on Web forums -
someone else will tell you where, but professionals don't like Web. We
prefer Newsgroups Reader and Win7 NG doesn't exiust yet simply because Win7
is not yet on store shelves!

Whether KMS will created Win7 NG remains to be seen, I am afaraid they're
more inclined towards Web intercae these days and that would be a bad
move....

 

Sorry for the typos, here's a clean version:

Until Win7 is officially released, the only Win7 pre-support on is on Web
forums -
someone else will tell you where, but professionals don't like Web. We
prefer Newsgroups Reader, but Win7 NG doesn't exist yet simply because Win7
is not yet on store shelves!

Whether Microsoft will create a Win7 NG remains to be seen, I am afraid
they're
more inclined towards Web intercae these days and that would be a bad
move....

 

I never read a bottom poster, because I usually don't see the stuff at the
bottom. I'm sure not going to scroll for it.

So you read a book from the bottom up?
Moron.

 

No, but I don't reread the 1st paragraph to get to the 2nd one either. When
you read a succession of bottom posted messages, this is what you'd have.
Bottom posting is useful when one only reads the last post, something most
regular readers here rarely do. Microsoft's hosted newsgroups have been
heavily top-posted for over a decade, so it's the norm here.

I can give you a string of arguments for both sides, but it's irrelevant.
Fact is, no one will win this debate. Just because bottom posting was the
original usenet convention does not make it immune to change. If you want to
continue this specious debate, feel free to do so but it's pointless as
neither side will win. Personally, I've always found it best to just follow
whatever convention is used by any given group.

Answer: 186,000 miles per second













Question: What is the speed of light?




Do you REALLY do it this way? Of course not. Twit.

Then bottom post - that's the convention on the USEnet, where this
group exists.

A. It destroys the natural flow
Q. Why is top posting wrong.

It's interesting to note that on most non-MS technical newsgroups bottom
posting is the custom - I think it was the introduction of Outlook Express
that made ready access to the MS newsgroups available to all Windows users,
and whose default setting was top-posting, that destroyed it on the MS news
groups....

you keep on posting down there.... if it doesn't show in the preview box, I
won't see it.

I was being deliberately extreme to show you the error of top-posting.
