Hi Craig,

I you meant product news feeds, her is all of
them for you to choose from:

http://support.microsoft.com/select/?target=rss

If you meant newsgroups, like this one,
I have not found a w7 group yet. Just use the
Vista groups. A couple of sociopaths will
get upset by it, but everyone else is cool.

Yes there are no Windows 7 NEWSGROUPS on the MS NNTP server.

There is however an official MS Windows 7 FORUM. (The two are different).

Go here:

Microsoft's Forum NNTP Bridge:
https://connect.microsoft.com/site/s...spx?SiteID=927

It's still in beta, and it's a lot slower than directly accessing a
Usenet newsgroup, but it's still far and away better than having to use
the forum's cumbersome, native web-based interface.

However, the forum is filled with a ton of noise and not really all that
useful. Even with the few trolls, the unofficial usenet Win7 group,
alt.windows7.general seems more useful.
