Who do you use as your newsgroup provider?

3 out of the four ISPs I use no longer support News, and I
expect that trend to continue. So I am connecting directly
to news.microsoft.com. When that goes, so will my connection.

I am viewing/defining this (and what is disappearing) more as a structured,
organized, categorized forum rather than a particular method (e.g. newsgroup)
used to provide it. Other than vaguely, I don't even know exactly what a
"newsgroup" is in the context that the pros here are discussing it.

I go to the Microsoft website to interface with this, that is the only way I
have ever done it.
