To be able to run this.... Microsoft Forums NNTP Bridge has to be
runing...download it, create yourself a WinLiveID (if you don`t have one)and
after the installation sign in, that`s all.

Yeah, and previously we didn't have to run extra software, didn't have
to register with MS, and didn't have to sign in.

Great improvement. :-)

Not my first choice of homes, frankly. And I'd always prefer to run the
Community Bridge. Better behaved, and a much better HTML<->Text conversion,
IMHO.

We're going to try staying on the NG for the moment.

Hi, Vjekoslav.

Yes. But that Forum is NOT dedicated to 64-bit computing. Users of WinXP
x64 will not feel at home there, and users of Vista x64 might feel like
stepchildren.

AND that is a FORUM, not a newsgroup, even though we can access it with a
newsreader by using an NNTP Bridge. But many of us feel that the Forum
interface is awkward, even when accessed via the bridge, and just not as
friendly as this newsgroup format. If you are comfy with the Forum
interface, you can access all of them with your browser, starting at:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/default.aspx

Microsoft has provided TWO NNTP Bridges. One handles the forums in the
Microsoft Answers "brand"; the other is for forums in the MSDN, TechNet,
Expression and Microsoft brand forums.

MVP Jochen Kalmbach has written the Community NNTP Bridge which handles all
the Forums accessible by both the Microsoft bridges - and adds many useful
improvements. Jochen released v.1 of his bridge on May 25, 2010, and
updated it several times a day at first, mostly adding features that we
requested. But Build 38, released June 14, has been stable for the past
couple of weeks. You can get it free at:
Community Forums NNTP bridge
http://communitybridge.codeplex.com/

The Community NNTP Bridge is not officially supported by Microsoft, but many
of us are using it. (I started with Build 9, as I recall.)
