I want to use Outlook Express to browse this newsgroup (microsoft.com)

What do I enter in the Server Name?

I tried public.microsoft
and www.microsoft.com

What do I enter to be able to locate the Windows and MS Office newsgroups?

Thanks!

Stealth

Try Microsoft.public

Above is how to set up the Newsreader.
