Hi Luke
Yes, long live the newsgroups, but I wouldn't start celebrating yet.
Microsoft is notorious for doing things when and where they want.

Read Q and A at

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.mspx

Q: When will this transition be complete?

A: Microsoft is closing newsgroups in phases and anticipates completing this
by Fall 2010.

I don't deny that they said it, but I deny that it's true. Microsoft
has no more power to "close [a] newsgroup" than have you or I.

It means that whoever posted it doesn't understand AT ALL what Usenet
is, and what newsgroups are.

That can't be true. I'm looking at this from a pure simple user viewpoint. I
don't know how it all works. Right now I don't have any assurance what to
expect when MS finally kills/switches off its servers one day down the road,
with presumably the usual weblinks to get here well and truly dead.

It looks like some groups are getting new posts and others aren't.
