Learn how to use a News Client.

The following news URL will take your default news client to;
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....vista.general

The original link to Vista Discussions IS broken.

BUT, the link posted here WORKS.
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

You scroll down the list to: microsoft.public.windows THEN expand it for
Vista Newsgroups

And it works the same as the broken one; sign in via Hotmail Account.
MS emailed me this link months ago, when it 1st happened.

The reason you're having such problems is that you are using the web
interface to read this newsgroup--it's the slowest, clunkiest, most
error-prone method there is. Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader,
such as Outlook Express, which comes with Windows.

There seems to be a problem with the Vista groups. While many can access
them without any problem there are many others who either can only read the
existing postings or cannot see the newsgroups at all.

I am sick of you posting false garbage.
I don't get errors in it!
Where is your proof of your self-centered, wide-ranging statements?

"The reason you're having such problems is that you are using the web
interface to read this newsgroup--it's the slowest, clunkiest, most
error-prone method there is. "

I have had a gutful of you, are your BS.
Post the truth; if you can, which I doubt!

The Web CDO is a poor way to access Usenet based news groups at its best.

Accessing the groups from a news client is the *best* way to access the microsoft.*
hierarchy or any Usenet news group.

"The Web CDO is a poor way to access Usenet based news groups at its best."

Once again, YOUR opinion; not mine.
Just answer the OP's question.

Its a fact. Using a http web interface is a poor way to access Usenet. It doesn't matter
if its Microsoft's or another.

You can't access the wealth of Usenet as it has to offer.
You can't ...
search easily
see headers
get attachments
see the flow of a thread properly
go from group to group in one easy download
etc.

You might call it my opinion but the fact remains it just limits your capabilities.
Having used both and having been on Usenet for almost 20 years I know the difference.

You are a closed-mind, self-opiniated clown.
If people like to use something, let them use it.
Just because you can't use the Web Interface, you shove your own way to do it.

Grow up!
