where is the Windows 7 news group

Anyone know

T

There isn't one. Windows 7 has no newsreader, so there are no newsgroups.

Windows Mail has no news reader? Can T-Bird be installed on Win7?

You have to install Windows Live Mail from the internet, if you want a
Microsoft newsreader on Win7. It's even slower than ever now, with a really
childish interface. Yuck.

I can't seem to find Windows Mail in Windows 7. I guess it will be
replaced by Windows Live Essentials (in this case Windows Live Mail).

But I assume that the many other third-party newsreaders such as Forte
Agent, my personal choice) will work with Windows 7. If they don't
work immediately when Windows 7 is released, they'll quickly be
modified and the new version will work with it,

Yeah, well that's pretty obvious. I did say "if you want a Microsoft
newsreader on Win7".

WLM works fine in Win7, I'm using it right now.
Agent 5.0 also works, using for news only.
Also using Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 for email only.

Yes, of course it does. It always has done, like Windows Mail and Outlook
Express before it.

You aren't getting confused with Windows Live Hotmail, are you? That used
to be called Windows Live Mail, after it was called Hotmail, and Windows
Live Mail used to be called Windows Live Mail for Desktop.
