From: Herbert Eppel on 6 Apr 2010 17:23 Thanks for your quick reply and the forum link. Pity there isn't a newsgroup, which I tend to find more convenient than forums.

They are *much* faster and more convenient than forums, as far as I'm concerned. However it isn't true that there is no newsgroup. There are no Microsoft newsgroups, but there is one on other servers. Here's my standard post on the subject: Unfortunately it's highly unlikely that there will be any Microsoft Windows 7 newsgroups. Apparently Microsoft has decided that web-based forums are better than newsgroups and they are putting their efforts there. I'm personally sorry that's the case, but it's their decision, not mine.
