Request for Microsoft to create Service Pack specific newsgroup for Vista


Since there seems to be an avid following of Vista SP1 and in most
likeliness, will continue for future Service Pack releases, I hereby
request/suggest another NG be created to stop the cluttering of SP
related articles inundating non-related topics in the Microsoft
Public NG's.

I suggest the following:

"microsoft.public.windows.vista.service-packs"

Considering the fact that Microsoft has agreed to offer FREE Tech
support for SP1 until 2009, it seems it may be prudent to create such
a NG.

Thanks for your consideration.
Respectfully,

Trev

Re: Request for Microsoft to create Service Pack specific newsgroup for Vista

It would be similar to making newsgroups for all updates. SP1 IS Vista. It's
just an update. Soon, most of the posts in here will be concerning systems
running Vista SP1.

Re: Request for Microsoft to create Service Pack specific newsgroup for Vista

I would disagree, if we followed this logic, we'd have service pack groups
for Windows XP, Windows 2000, not to mention Windows Server and Office, I
see no point in SP's having their own group. As it is people can't figure
out which group to use have the time, why add to the confusion?
