Or just subscribe to the msnews server with your Thunderbird reader then
search/filter for "vista" in the groups subscription pane.

Try using as the server name, "msnews.microsoft.com"
The Vista groups have names starting with "microsoft.public.windows.vista"
For example,
"microsoft.public.windows.vista.general" and
"microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup" and
"microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail"

You may need to refresh the list of newsgroups available in Thunderbird. Click
on Microsoft News in the Folders pane. In the right hand pane, click on "Manage
Newsgroup Subscriptions". In the Subscribe dialog, hit the Refresh button. Once
the list of newsgroups has been updates, see if entering Vista in the "Show
items that contain" box yields any results.
If that doesn't work, try these links.

It's msnews, not msnew. That typo would cause the problem.

The correct server name is msnews.microsoft.com. There are many Vista
newsgroups there.
