Where/how can I access windows 7 newsgroups using my news reader??


Microsoft's Forum NNTP Bridge:
https://connect.microsoft.com/site/sitehome.aspx?SiteID=927

It's still in beta, and it's a lot slower than directly accessing a
Usenet newsgroup, but it's still far and away better than having to use
the forum's cumbersome, native web-based interface.

However, the forum is filled with a ton of noise and not really all that
useful. Even with the few trolls, the unofficial usenet Win7 group,
alt.windows7.general seems more useful.
