I cast 1 vote for alt.os.windows64bit

Hopefully those that participate will follow the intent of discussing

alt.os.windows64bit if we have to be in the alt tree. But honestly, comp.

I'm not a Microsoft user - but that name would fit better with all the
other alt.os.* groups (including some windows-related).

Sounds like s good idea...
.... until it gets attacked, and made next to useless, by a troll determined to

A moderated group would be great, but is that even possible with alt groups?
