New to Messenger

Hi,
I had a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to subscribe to a newsgroup,
because the communities function was not working! I just downloaded Windows
live messenger and I think I am starting to like it a lot more than any
other instant messenger.

They only worked with the Microsoft news servers. Microsoft has made the
decision to discontinue their news groups:

Being focused on Web stuff, they have transitioned their official support
channel to Web forums:

I am not a big fan of such, myself. Guess I am a "Luddite".
