In the "Answers" forums or non-Microsoft news servers.

http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...-US/categories
(Specifically:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...egory/windows7 )

or

alt.windows7.general on a non-Microsoft news server like:
http://aioe.org/

However - even there it is likely people would prefer to see some message in
the body - not just relying on the subject line. ;-)

MS is shutting down its newsgroup server, and is not creating any new
groups. In particular, they never created any WIn7 groups. You can use
alt.windows7.general on your friendly neighborhood Usenet server.
Check your ISP or Google free Usenet servers, or check
www.eternal-september.org

Hello Tom,

There is not a Windows 7 newsgroup, only forums.

Microsoft Answers Windows 7 Forums:

This server is being shut down by Oct. so they will never be here.

That's not correct. There are no *Microsoft* Windows 7 newsgroups, but
there is alt.windows7.general.
