MS is never set up a newsgroup fro Win7 as it is in the process of getting
out of Usenet altogether. Forums is what they are doing now.

Windows 7 Forums
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7

There is an unsanctioned newsgroup. alt.windows7.general, is available on
many non-MS servers.

Not here. Then again, soon enough you won't find any newsgroups here as
the MS server will be gone by Oct. 1st.

Try eternal-september.org or aioe.org for alt.windows7.general

No, I just can't deal with people that can't comprehend what they read,
therefore giving wrong answers.

Simple solution------don't deal with them, just ignore their posts.
