I couldn't find a "vista" newsgroup.
Just bought and booted a new computer with Windows Vista Home Basic.
Belarc Advisor reports the Operation System as "Windows 2000 Home Edition
(Build 6000)"

Exactly what do I have?

And so...

Update?
Download and install the latest version?
Run it and see what it says with the latest version?
Come back and let us know?
 
Yep, now reports OS correctly.
I guess 7.0t never heard of Vista...

What's the name of the Vista newgroup?

Outlook Express could not open that link because it is not a recognized
format.
I'm trying to access from an XP machine. Would that matter?

Earthlink is my ISP and they tell me that I can not access a Vista newgroup
from my XP machine. That sounds strange...

It's more than strange; it's complete nonsense. You don't even need to
be running Windows to access a Vista newsgroup.

It could be your ISP doesn't subscribe to that particular news group.

Downloaded your suggestion. Interesting!

However, I found one bug. It detects my total memory correctly
but lists only 3 of the 4 slots. My slots go from A0 to A3 and it
fails to see A0! I have reported it as a bug.

On the author's site there appears a more current version 7.80,
whereas Major Geeks only offers 7.60.

When I try that link from XP, it asks if I want to download newsgroups, I
say Yes,
but then it responds can not connect to server.

<snip>

I would use the microsoft.public.windows.vista.general (and actually the
most appropriate group in microsoft.public.windows.vista.*). I chose to
reach the microsoft.public groups from the news.microsoft.com news server
even if my ISP's news server happens to carry them.
