No actually, if you want an OFFICIAL "group" go here:

http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...egory/windows7

But it's not a newsgroup. It's an online forum, a "web forum".

I know. There AREN'T any official newsgroups, and it looks like there never
will be.

Windows 7 was just launched, why give up so soon?

Because both XP and Vista had newsgroups before they were released.
Also, Ballmer is in charge now, not Gates.

Well, one would think the newsgroup would have been launched the same
day as the software. That would make the most sense. Why wait? It just
tells me MS is abandoning NNTP for web-based forums.
