I don't find it in the news group listings.

I sure DID search - the listings of the Microsoft forums that are the
default display in Windows Live Newsreader.

But did you search this group for some of the hundreds of posts giving you

Unfortunately it's highly unlikely that there will be any Microsoft
Windows 7 newsgroups. Apparently Microsoft has decided that web-based
forums are better than newsgroups and they are putting their efforts
there. I'm personally sorry that's the case, but it's their decision,
not mine.

However there is at least one non-Microsoft Windows 7 newsgroup:
alt-windows7.general. Not all servers carry it (at least not yet), but
here's one free news server that does: aioe.org
