Windows 7 Forums NNTP bridge
Just discovered this in the MS answers forum settings
What is the "Use NNTP Bridge" option in My Settings? The NNTP Bridge Client application allows a user to configure their NNTP Reader to read and post to the forums. Users can install the client bridge at the Online Forums Connection. To use the bridge users must first select "Use NNTP Bridge" in the My Settings page. Note: at this time, there are no plans to localize the support documentation for the tool but the tool should work any locale forum. Users can visit the Online Forums Connection for more information, bug status and to report issues or suggestions Going to try it and will report back....

SC Tom Well one benefit of registering is that you don't get any of all that CRAP that was posted to the Vista general group - which IMHO was the main reason MS decided to go with web forums rather than NNTP for Windows 7....can't blame them really.

There was just as much crap on XP General. I think it has to do more with MS wanting more control. M

If by CRAP you mean spam, then you are correct. If you are referring to some of the posts/posters, then there is not much difference between the news groups and the forums, whether they are Microsoft-based/owned or not. SC Tom
