    I hope you're right about the "yet" in that sentence, but it's by no
    means clear that there will be any Microsoft Windows 7 newsgroups.

    I hope I'm wrong in my worries about this, but it's possible that
    Microsoft will never create them.

    Possible, but not very likely. This is exactly the same thing MS did with
    both XP and with Vista. Forums until the official release date and then
    they created news groups.

    Robinson Zhang MSFT has told me in the 7 forums that there will be NNTP
    groups "in the future"...

    Hi, Ken.

    My ISP offers Usenet and today I found a new (?) newsgroup called
    alt.windows7.general . But when I Subscribed and set Synchronizations to
    All Messages - it was empty. And it is still empty after a couple of
    Synchronize All sessions. :>(

    I hope Gordon's information (see his post) is correct and that there will be
    Win7 NGs after October 22.

    I guess that not very many folks have found it.

    Thanks RC. It's apparently not on my server yet, but I'll keep
    checking it. I hope it will be there in the next few days.

    Yes, I've seen Gordon's several posts on this. As I told Gordon, I
    also hope he's right, but I don't have the confidence in it he
    apparently does.
