Excellent, Ken. Just what I was looking for. I found the Windows 7
newsgroup in aioe.org.

I don't know what news server you are using, but if it's a Microsoft
server, no, there aren't any. And unfortunately it's highly unlikely
that there will be. 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

If you will read the message you replied to, and you quoted below,
you'll see that that's what I said, what Panic said he found and
started using, and what he thanked me for telling him.
