It seems that, by not explaining all of the options available to us, Microsoft is trying to gain more control.
From: V on 7 Jul 2010 22:32 Hello, I have not had a chance to check out the new site yet due to unexpected issues I must take care of. However I do have a question. Will this new website allow a way to have a quick search that will make it easy to browse only the last day or two of posts on one page like a news reader without going from page to page? I always watched for issues on every patch Tuesday to see if any troubles were going to arise. With a news group I could down load the messages and browse easy now it looks like pages and pages to weed through. Having to do this will just take more time to do. Good things never seem to last.

From: Tester on 8 Jul 2010 00:21 Yes this is expected because Microscum is not satisfied with its army of MVPs who were required to support these newsgroups but instead started abusing Microscum customers. Expect more closures in the near future unless you are fortunate enough to have an ISP supoorting its own newsgroups.
