I've just checked my ISP provider's (BT) Newsgroups and all the current Microsoft NGs I subscribe to are listed: microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop microsoft.public.windowsupdate microsoft.public.windowsxp.general How long will BT keep them though? Will people gradually stop posting to them and use the forums?
