Default Microsoft public windows 7 newsgroup

Thanks, Ken.
I found that one and there is a lot of bullcrap going on there.. I was
hoping for a moderated one like the ones for XP that I enjoyed so much when
I was running XP..

Are there any out there?



Unfortunately it's highly unlikely that there will be any Microsoft
Windows 7 newsgroups. Apparently Microsoft has decided that web-based
forums are better than newsgroups and they are putting their efforts
there. I'm personally sorry that's the case, but it's their decision,
not mine.

However there is at least one non-Microsoft Windows 7 newsgroup:
alt.windows7.general. Not all servers carry it (at least not yet), but
here's one free news server that does: aioe.org
