| Guest | Re: Vista and an NNTP bug Ah Zach, Without getting myself into bad "graces" with MS let me just say this. About an hour back;I was in the private news NNTP;then all of a sudden my newsgroup disappeared and POOF a WHOLE bunch of private MVP NG's popped up and were downloading messages into my pc. Not being the vindictive sort-I won't name any specific people-however to validate this-one group in particular was- Private.MVP.Coffeehouse. One was private.mvp.expert zone, etc. All in all approximately 20 newsgroups were "open" to anyone-for awhile that I saw; and it was Quite interesting;the interactions of MVP's and MS employees. especially one instance about voting, MVP&MS interaction and features and timetables for Vista. Don't want to get anyone in trouble,least of which;myself. Suffice it to say; I have knowledge gained; by someone's mistake;that seriously changes my opinion about many in these groups. Not to worry, I didn't run across any posts from you or Andre!!!
