Oh ok .. cool. Thanks for the info. Will connect thru' the given link. I do
refer to Paul Thurrott's website as well - this is mentioned in your link. As
far as I see, I don't see any difference as long as there are forums to clear
doubts with a help from experts such as yourself. Thanks again David.

Well, it won't be "here" :-D

This newsgroup will not be available - I believe they are closing it down
as of June 1 2010.

You'll have to locate a Microsoft Forum to post.

Also, if you'd like to continue using your newsgroup client (reader), you
will need to use a NTTP Bridge depending on which forum you use - there are
two available.

* The Microsoft Forums NNTP Bridge can be used to participate in MSDN,
TechNet, Expression, and General Microsoft forums.

* The Microsoft Answers NNTP Bridge can be used to participate in Answers
forums only.

I created this blog to help others get started if they choose that route.
