From: trip_to_tokyo on 3 Jun 2010 09:43 Micky, everybody seems to have been misled by MS who said that they were closing these forums on Jun 1/10. However, another poster has correctly pointed out that MS said, in their original advice, that they would phase out during the summer and end the process in the autumn. As to accurate information I suppose only MS can give that.
