Microsoft doesn't have any effect on the existence of Usenet, only on
the continued use/abuse of their own server, and some of the newsgroups
that might not be carried on other servers.
ISPs that have dropped their own news servers have had very little
effect on Usenet, other than driving their own subscribers to other
Usenet servers and services.
If Google Groups dies it will only improving Usenet, IMHP ;-)
