However, the only "drivers" droup there is Japanese one. So far, microsoft.public.development.device.drivers does not have the "upgrade path" in there. A little hint for these who cannot spot the Bridge app after the setup: The setup won't create the shortcut in All users Start menu if you are not administrator, and run the setup using RunAs. Open \Program Files\Microsoft Community Tools\Microsoft Forums NNTP Bridge and run NntpBridge.exe. Thanks, -- pa

Yes, I noticed this too. They definitely restructure the "conference" areas. Its a clean slate. :) Check out the Microsoft Connect sections and MS Forums technet.* groups. See if there anything there. -- HLS

That is certainly not my (and many others, I'm sure) understanding of the Usenet network. It may have been a star network in the very early days but it is now, and has for quite a while been described as a mesh network. John |
