Microsoft has established an excellent special web-based Windows 7 Beta Forum you

Not yet.

AFAICT, Microsoft is waiting until GA (General Availability) before
initiating newsgroups on msnews.microsoft.com servers. In the meantime,
there are a number of online forums - including a forum hosted by
Microsoft's TechNet - that enable people to communicate about just Windows
7.

Just put the term "Windows 7 Forums" in a search engine such as Bing.

Of course, another possibility is that MS has no plans at all to
introduce newsgroups for Windows 7, because of the constant trolling
that goes on in these groups (and the misguided dolts that continue to
respond to the trolls). The forum approach allows MS more control,
which they of course like. Unfortunately, many helpful folks will not
make the transition because they don't like the format and/or medium
as much as they like the newsgroups.

I asked that question in the TechNet forum and got the answer that Microsoft
ARE planning NNTP Windows 7 newsgroups...
