Microsoft has not created any newsgroups in the microsoft.public.*
hierarchy. They want everybody to use the web forums. You can use the
Usenet group alt.windows7.general

There are Windows 7 forums, but none specifically for Starter Edition
nor for any other edition.

Unfortunately it's highly unlikely that there will be any Microsoft
Windows 7 newsgroups. Apparently Microsoft has decided that web-based
forums are better than newsgroups and they are putting their efforts
there. I'm personally sorry that's the case, but it's their decision,
not mine.

However there is at least one non-Microsoft Windows 7 newsgroup:
alt.windows7.general. Not all servers carry it (at least not yet), but
here's one free news server that does: aioe.org
