Not an offical Microsoft-sponsored one. They do have a web forum, but I
don't know the address.

There is an unoffical one called "alt.windows7.general". It is not
carried by all usenet services (Google doesn't have it.)

No MS newsgroups for Win7, only web-based forums:

There is an "alt.windows7.general" news group in the free "news.aioe.org" service.
But it had degenerated into a flame war between Linux and windows users.

Thanks PA.
I'm really trying to find out what programs will run and how to set up
windows 7 for the wife. Buying her a new laptop and everything we have now
is running great on WinXP but it appears all the Dell's are running Win7.
We/she currently uses Office 2k(word and excel only) and OLE.
Yep, we're wayyyyyy out-dated but everything works and does what we need.
