From: Bill in Co on 24 Jul 2010 02:10 What John said was correct. The MS newsgroups are Usenet newsgroups (and still available if you access them on some other nntp server, since MS has dropped carrying them). Or are we playing semantics games here?

Newsgroups are Usenet Forums can be Microsoft (Or any one who wants to host one) Best explanation of Usenet I have seen : http://encyclopedia.vbxml.net/Usenet Extract from the above site : "effective July 31, 2010, citing Google Groups as an alternative. Microsoft announced that it would discontinue support for its public newsgroups (msnews.microsoft.com) from June 1, 2010, offering web forums as an alternative.

From: Sunny on 24 Jul 2010 03:18 As further "proof" I am replying to my own post without using the ms usenet server, but my ISP server (NNTP) (Among other Usenet servers that still carry the "microsoft.public" Usenet news groups) "Sunny" <wombathouse(a)yahoo.com.au> wrote in message news:e7UkzwvKLHA.4824(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Have you been listening to MEB ? > Newsgroups are Usenet > Forums can be Microsoft (Or any one who wants to host one) > Best explanation of Usenet I have seen : > http://encyclopedia.vbxml.net/Usenet > Extract from the above site : > "effective July 31, 2010, citing Google Groups as an alternative. > Microsoft announced that it would discontinue support for its > public newsgroups (msnews.microsoft.com) > from June 1, 2010, offering web forums as an alternative. > > > "Peter Foldes" <okf22(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:eF6r4RuKLHA.4780(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> John John >> >> Sorry but I differ.

From: John John - MVP on 24 Jul 2010 09:04 Read here and see for yourself: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/guide/newsgroupfaq.mspx These groups *ARE* Usenet groups, if you differ then you don't understand Usenet and how it works.
