So are there going to Win7 Groups oe What?

I'm still waiting for Amazon to ship my Win7 pro I ordered for $99 and I'm
just curious if MS will add the newsgroups.

It doesn't look like they plan to do so. I'm guessing they want to get
rid of the newsgroups or else they would have had windows 7 newsgroups
already.

The process has been in place for a while - some years ago the Product
support pages on MS gave two links - the top for NNTP access to these
groups, the lower, the link to the web forum for the same groups. A while
ago they decided to reverse the order so the top link was for the the
forum....

As previous posted, only Microsoft would truly know when Usenet
newsgroups will show up. But it also appears that their are
completely changing their "forums." Head over to:
