Microsoft forums, how many do you want? http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...tegory/w7itpro http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...-US/categories And of course no forums for other languages, while there are many Microsoft newsgroups for a lot of countries. -- Fred W.

That aside I'd be more inclined to believe that they've made a general decision that newsgroups will not be used in the future. With the AG in NY causing most ISP's to drop USEnet (or at least giving them a good excuse), the USEnet has even less of a chance to survive in the coming years. MS has probably just decided to retire from the business, and as the older products mature out, the NNTP servers will fade away. |

MS is often very slow to create newsgroups. > >That aside I'd be more inclined to believe that they've made a general >decision that newsgroups will not be used in the future. seems to have decided not to open Windows7 newsgroups. Some speculations look more obvious than other speculations, but they are just speculations and nothing more. As to the "social" forums, I read in a lot of forums, but I do not want to have to login in each and every forum I see. Also in a forum I cannot use a killfile to avoid having to read the "dribble" of some individuals I do not want to read. But most of all I resent that Microsoft refuses to open anything in "foreign" languages, I find that most rude of Microsoft. One can see many "microsoft.public.*" newsgroups in a lot of languages. I see not excuse whatsoever, why Microsoft now wants everything exclusively in the En-US language. (and in the Dutch newsgroups microsoft.public.nl.windows.vista is and will be used for questions for both Windows7 *and* WindowsVista.) It looks like Microsoft is turning into a closed society that prefers to avoid anything "foreign". This attitude was once called "Splendid Isolation". History shows that this attitude resulted in very negative results. :-( -- Fred W. (NL) |
