[ANN]: NNTP Server slow downs.

For several days, we have been experiencing slowdowns in the Microsoft
newsgroups. The combination of the recent waves of spam and viruses
generated several issues that Microsoft teams are troubleshooting now. In
the meantime, to help deal with the slowdowns, we are reducing our message
archive from 90 days to 30 days for newsreaders (such as Outlook Express).
To access discussions older than 30 days, you can use this page:
