Get a Live ID if you do not have one 2. Register with the forums at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ 3. In "My Settings", make sure "Use NNTP Bridge" is selected 4. Go to http://communitybridge.codeplex.com/ to download the Community Bridge application. 5. Follow the instructions. In your newsreader, the "server" will be 127.0.0.1 and the port will be 119 (though you can change it in the bridge settings). Still a work in progress, but it works well now.
