As people may know MSFT are closing their news groups and trying to move
people to forums. It's not an attractive option, MSFT's NNTP bridge is
extremely slow and all the posts are in HTML unfortunately.

There has been some discussion about this in
microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general so this is by way of a seeding
message to see if there is support for an alt group - perhaps alt.windows64?

Maybe I'm just slow, but how do you get to alt.windows64?

Google doesn't give me any hints.

The group doesn't exist yet, alt.os.windows64bit might be a better name,
suggestions appreciated :-)

That's an amazing invention but who would ever want to use one of them?
