(ms)news.microsoft.com are DNS names for Microsoft's NNTP (newsgroups) server while Microsoft Communities is a general name for all things (one of which are newsgroups) Microsoft has for us to interact with Microsoft employees and uhm... community. Following is a category list taken from http://www.microsoft.com/communities/default.mspx: - Blogs - Technical Chats - Newsgroups - Webcasts - Community Web Sites - User Groups - Forums -- Alexander Suhovey |

| Guest | Re: Difference-Microsoft Communities and msnews.microsoft.com i think he means within the new windows mail interface... when you setup a news group you are asked if you want to activate communities. this is the same as the newsgroup but lets you rate posts "Allan J.

In Windows Mail if you look you will see that Microsoft Communities also uses msnews.microsoft.com as its news server. However, if you use the pre-installed Microsoft Communities it also includes the metadata to provide features from the Web interface, like the ability to rate posts if you have signed in with your Passport/Windows Live ID. If you set up a new news account for msnews.microsoft.com you will not have access to or send this metadata. You will also find loading a newsgroup to be faster. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Answer in newsgroup. Don't send mail. |
