Why, just because its not run by Microsoft? Its a perfectly valid
newsgroup to get help with Windows 7. At least someone is providing
newsgroup help even if Microsoft is abandoning it.

No, that's not the reason, but what Peter says is largely true.
There's much more garbage there than anything useful.

True. However the amount of garbage is staggering.

Also true. But the ratio of help to garbage is very poor.

Please note that your use of the term "this server" isn't really
correct. What's "this" for you isn't "this" for all of us. For
example, you may be getting this newsgroup from a Microsoft server,
but I no longer am. I switched away from the Microsoft server several
weeks ago.
