I am curious. What is the difference between the news groups on
news.Microsoft and msn.news. I am using Windows XP Pro and Outlook Express.

Thank you,
Bob

news.microsoft.com
msnews.microsoft.com

They resolve to the same IP address (207.46.248.16). Multiple IP names
can point to the same IP address.

msn.news.com is a web server, not an NNTP server. It is not a Microsoft
domain. news.com belongs to CNet (CBS acquired CNet in mid-2008).
