The al.windows7 newsgroup is a joke and a playground for some people using
obscenities and foul language when they fight among themselves.

MS decided to end public newsgroup support:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.mspx

There are only Win7-specific forums:

Why, just because its not run by Microsoft? Its a perfectly valid
newsgroup to get help with Windows 7. At least someone is providing
newsgroup help even if Microsoft is abandoning it.

No, that's not the reason, but what Peter says is largely true.
There's much more garbage there than anything useful.

True. However the amount of garbage is staggering.


At least someone is providing
newsgroup help even if Microsoft is abandoning it.



Also true. But the ratio of help to garbage is very poor.
