Hi Sheana,

I have been using alt.windows7.general for my Windows7 newsgroup. As far
as i know, Microsoft has not created a Windows newsgroup on their server
and have made no announcements about an intention to do so.

You can use forums for Windows 7. Try this link:

<alt.windows7.general > is not ideal for anybody looking for real help
because there is lots of swearing and bullying going on. I am one of them
there too!!!
