Hi James,

Apparently MS isn't supporting newgroups anymore but the closest thing I
could find is this:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7

Hope that helps.

Long ago, .... in my recollection, ... when I first started to post queries
and answers in any MS Newsgroup, I could use 'real' my e-mail address and
received answers to my queries not only this site/general view but also by
my e-mail address. However, after about three years later, this practice
completely ceased and needed to create 'fake' e-mail address.

Then, in my guess, ... all MS Newsgroups have changed one after another, ...
from 'real e-mail address' to 'fake one.' Now, all MS Newsgroups went to
the web-site.

For me, it's a sad change, ... but probably, the society including this site
needed to change according to the people's reaction and general society.

Hopefully, web-site is as good as this site.

You can (always have been able to) use your real email address. It was
*suggested* you use a fake email address - but you never 'needed' to.

alt.windows7.general is the only one I know of. Not all Usenet servers
carry it. Unfortunately, it's mostly been taken over by a clique of
Windows/Linux advocacy fanatics.
