Windows 7 NG's ?
Hi
As my daughters said "You would like the movie Dumber & Dumber". Think they might be right as I can see no Windows 7 news groups. Can someone please show me the way? Keep smiling Uncle Gus 86 going on 16

Windows 7 NG's ?
Hey Uncle Gus Microsoft isn't going to create a newsgroup...they have them
all on forums. they have a bridge that will bring them into Windows Mail. then after you instal that you sign on to the forums using you Windows live Id and go to settings and enable the bridge...the only thing I don't like about it it has to be started each time you want to go into that group. Robbie This is the forum and you have to sign in http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...egory/w7itpro/ This is the forum and you have to sign in... below is the NNtp bridge download link. https://connect.microsoft.com/Downlo...&wa=wsignin1.0 "gush@cox,net" wrote in message ...

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 -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Microsoft is migrating from conventional newsgroups to forums for better
support. See: Windows 7 - The Next Generation of Customer Support: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f...rviceWin7.mspx The Official Microsoft Windows 7 Answers Forums: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...egory/windows7 gush@cox,net wrote: Hi As my daughters said "You would like the movie Dumber & Dumber".
