LIST OF "WINDOWS 7" NEWSGROUPS (Windows7, Win7) - ULTIMATE ANSWER TO ALL

Where is 'Windows7" Nesgroup?
This question is being asked here (on
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general):
methodically, weekly (if not more often), so it became a "sticky note"
everyone is tired of answering. Some of us feel that the question is
repeated by people too lazy to Google or learn for themselves. Let's answer
this question once & for ALL, only problem I can't make this Article a
"sticky note" also (unlike the question - ironically), let's hope these
people can SEARCH & LOCATE my answer, here it goes: ************************

Two possible Newsgroups (Usenet):
*) alt.windows7.general ---> is growing in popularity, English
(international)
**) it.comp.os.win.windows7 ---> Italian.

Start at Alt.Windows7.General
Not all servers carry it (at least not yet), bt here're two great FREE
Newsserver that do:
*) news.eternal-september.org ---> YOU HAVE TO REGISTER AT
ETERNAL-SEPTEMBER.ORG FIRST, then in your Newsgroup reader set server/portas
their website insutrcts you, set "requires to login" and enter
userID/password you chose. This is the greatest free newsserver in the
world, people who pay to Giganews or use GoogleGroups are misinformed &
waste time/money elsewhere.
**) aioe.org --> I never tried this one, but people say it's also good (?)

Microsoft has set up Windows 7 support in web forums, part of a general
migration away from usenet:

There is a NNTP bridge available https://connect.microsoft.com/site927 this
may not be a perfectly direct adderss, so search Microsoft.com for "NNTP
Bridge" in case link provided here gets obsoleted, you need to install this
bridge only if you get sick of Web interface, if you're OK using Web instead
of a professional's choice which is Usenet/Newsgroups, then you don't need
NNTP Bridge.
==========

Here's also a large Google-owned group, but it's NOT Usenet, it's NOT even
Microsoft Forums. This is the lamest "Google Groups" interface, it's given
here as an extra, you can use them if the above list and chiefly if
alt.windows7.general is not enough. This group has 1034 subscribers as of
today, which is not much less than this Vista.General (which has 1300+
permanent members).

Avoid it if you can, not to mention they require to register (restricted)
and "Kevin Panzke" isn't there yet.

What is a NesGroup? Just FYI. Is that something you watch on TV? Just
FYI.

I get sticky notes every morning when I get up. Just FYI. Can I share my
sticky notes with you Stan?

Just FYI.

That is right. People too lazy to take their medication. Just FYI.
