Vanishing Newsgroups

From: Bill in Co on 11 Jul 2010 14:27 But it requires installing .NET Framework 3.5 (and a pretty large app, at over 200 MB!), as I recall. .NET 2.0 won't cut it. And that could be a concern, no? (I thought I recall someone mentioning some issue with that on fileforum, like it broke some of his existing 2.0 apps, or that some existing apps using .NET now ran slower? I can't recall. What was the service that Microsoft requires you to register for, to be able to use it?

I'm hanging on like blind bat in a cave. :-( Well, but what's the point, as long as some of these NNTP newsgroups remain active? Like you, I'm resisting crossing over. And there's still the issue of which bridge (Community Forums, VS Microsoft). Or the advantages, if any, over accessing them directly in IE, at the Microsofts Answers Home Page: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx
