Hi, meyersroman.
Sadly, no.
Microsoft is moving all free support efforts to Forums. So they never
created a newsgroup for Win7. "Discussion groups" really are Usenet
newsgroups "in disguise" so that they can be accessed from the web by using
a browser (such as Internet Explorer). They still exist, but Microsoft has
announced plans to close all of them, starting next week (June 1). The
announcements have appeared in these groups several times. The latest was
last week, on 5/19/2010, with the Subject:
Reminder - Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Community. A partial
quote from that message:

Where Should I go with the Closure of this Newsgroup?
In an effort to enhance and improve your experience, this newsgroup is
scheduled for closure in the upcoming months and we would like to invite you
to participate at
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsvista
forum(s). An exact date will be posted in advance as plans are finalized.

The Forums have been operating for some time already. You can click here
and choose from several Win7 groups:
