Thanks, Hector.
Just installed the bridge, and found Microsoft.en-US.kernel.

However, the only "drivers" droup there is Japanese one.
So far, microsoft.public.development.device.drivers does not have the
"upgrade path" in there.

A little hint for these who cannot spot the Bridge app after the setup:
The setup won't create the shortcut in All users Start menu if you are not
administrator,
and run the setup using RunAs.
Open \Program Files\Microsoft Community Tools\Microsoft Forums NNTP Bridge
and run NntpBridge.exe.

Thanks,

Yes, I noticed this too. They definitely restructure the "conference"
areas. Its a clean slate. :)

Check out the Microsoft Connect sections and MS Forums technet.*
groups. See if there anything there.

They have stated they are going to create a number of additional forums.
Now if I could just get reasonable access with going to the web.
