Microsoft will close the newsgroups but like everything on this
planet, there is always a way to do the same thing in the same
way. For example, I am able to read forums in my Mozilla
newsreader (but you can use anything like OE, WLM or anything you
may think of). The only thing you need is NNTP Bridge from your
tried and tested source - MICROSOFT. The link is here:

<http://connect.microsoft.com/MicrosoftForums/content/content.aspx?ContentID=13820>

Microsoft likes using connectors for almost everything these days
- Outlook Connector, NNTP Connector, next you will get Office
Connector and SQL Server Connector! It is all about connectors
connectors and more connectors

Q: How is Microsoft closing newsgroups in phases?

A: Microsoft is posting notices in newsgroups that will be closed well in
advance of closure dates. We will begin with newsgroups with the least
active number of users and posts, and by mid-2010, will move to more active
newsgroups that have a higher volume of posts and users.

computers very well and keep
exposing the horrible mistakes that are included in vista....
