None of the forums seem to map up, but if you change over to any other usenet server out there you can keep using this group as-is once Microsoft disappears.

Yes, this is the New Coke. Some of us will go looking for Pepsi. Or beer. Bo Persson

From: Charlie Russel - MVP on 20 May 2010 13:36 No, the names are all different because it's a completely different forum structure. It's not a "GUI NNTP", but a native HTML Forum. The NNTP Bridge is strictly a way to move the information back and forth between that Forum and your Newsreader of choice. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Bogey Man" <spam(a)kwic.com> wrote in message news:D21F6201-14D7-49B0-9650-25B5CDDB5192(a)microsoft.com... When I set up that NNTP Bridge, none of the names were the same as here and that was just yesterday. I installed it, I tried it, I hated it and then dumped it. Ron "mikeyhsd" <mikeyhsd(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:%23P6alsB%23KHA.5164(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... you can use NNTP Bridge and the same group name as here. mikeyhsd(a)hotmail.com "Carlos" <Carlos(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F814F984-BC9F-448D-AE7F-14FAF4CC587E(a)microsoft.com... Hi guys, My main concern now is where (what forum) you will all be moving to. I would like to stay alive and helping users with the same cool guys that hang aroung here regulary. Carlos

I wasn't aware that Office 2010 woudln't install on XP x64, but I can't say I'm surprised. And as much as I hated Office 2007, and never migrated to it, I'm liking Office 2010 a lot. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/russel "Maratonmannen" <Maratonmannen(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:58FEC81A-3654-4FAC-8D34-7F68ED08E395(a)microsoft.com... > The main reason I´m here is for "Discussions in Windows XP Professional > x64 > Edition".
