Not much traffic yet, a lot of people are finding their news feed does not
have it yet.
Alex said:I looked at the forum, but like all of them I just don't like it. If I
ever "have to" I will learn, but just prefer Usenet since it's what I am
used to.

with a barge pole for proper advice.

Alex Clayton said:Yes I am sure MS is not going to offer any because of what goes on in
this one.

I looked at the forum, but like all of them I just don't like it. If I
ever "have to" I will learn, but just prefer Usenet since it's what I am
used to. I don't have the W-7 disc for my new Dell yet, so it has not
mattered much, but there is already one real good poster on the W-7 group
answering questions. I am sure as traffic increases more trolls will feel
the need to start looking for attention there, but that's what they make
filters for.
Hell when I first got this Vista this group, even though it took a while
to wade through the crap, was full of great info and help.

Ken Blake said:There are no Microsoft Windows 7 newsgroups. Apparently Microsoft has
decided that web-based forums are better than newsgroups and they are
putting their efforts there. I'm personally sorry that's the case, but
it's their decision, not mine.
However there is at least one non-Microsoft Windows 7 newsgroup:
alt-windows7.general. Not all servers carry it (at least not yet), but
here's one free news server that does: aioe.org
I'm sorry for that too, because it's just so much faster and more
convenient to interact with a news reader than with browsers.
I use that one, too. The server's name is nntp.aioe.org.
Ken Blake said:The server's name is nntp.aioe.org *or* aioe.org. Either name works.
Oh? I thought aioe.org was their web site only.
I guess the explanation is in the different ports used by browsers and
news clients.
Thanks for setting the record straight.
