In addition to Leroy's answer, my company has a blog -
Microsoft Forums NNTP Bridge - Instructions to use
http://profileexchanges.com/blog/?p=397
to help those who want to continue to use their Newsgroup client (reader)
to post and view forum messages in their Newsgroup client.
Instructions are also available at Microsoft Connect -
https://connect.microsoft.com/MicrosoftForums
but our blog gives some step by step instructions that might simplify the
process for some.
There are TWO NNTP Bridges available.
* The Microsoft Forums NNTP Bridge can be used to participate in MSDN,
TechNet, Expression, and General Microsoft forums.
* The Microsoft Answers NNTP Bridge can be used to participate in Answers
forums only.
