Software Update Service Newsgroup!!!

Why don't they have Software Update Services listed as a
separate Newsgroup. I can never find it!!! This is very
frustrating!!!

Try using a dedicated newreader.
The Outlook Express Newreader is installed by default.

KathyL: Isn't that what this newsgroup is about "Windows
Update" ? Then there is "Office Updates" newsgroup, as well,
which covers Word, Excel, Access, Outlook Ex, Outlook,
Frontpage, IE, etc. Both of these newsgroups discuss the
updates and critical updates available and any advice you need
for either. Plus all of these programs have seperate
newsgroups within MS public. Unless you're talking about some
other kind of update, but I can't figure out what that would
be. Maybe you could be more specific? Are you referring to
non Microsoft program updates, or driver updates? If so, you
would have to go to the company web pages for the programs
your interested in. Good Luck in your search...
