I come to this newsgroup periodically when I have an issue with Windows but
that doesn't happen very often.
I'm using Outlook Express on XP as my news reader and when I try to get a
complete list of newsgroups on msnews.microsoft.com, this
(microsoft.public.windowsxp.general) is the ONLY newsgroup listed on the
whole server.
What's going on? Has Microsoft gone over to a web-based approach and
abandoned usenet as I suspect? If they have, what is this one solitary
newsgroup still doing in existence? Surely it can't be worth the bother to
keep the new server alive for only one newsgroup, even if it is fairly
heavily used like this one.....
If this news server IS dead, where are we supposed to be going?
