I'm not sure what you mean by managed newsgroup, sorry. There are a variety
of Vista newsgroups on the Microsoft Discussion Groups web page under
microsoft.public.windows.vista.*
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx
All the MS newsgroups can be reached through the MS news server. None of
them are moderated, almost all participants are volunteers, like me, helping
out. Occasionally an MS employee will post in one of the groups but on
their own time, not official MS support. Right now with Vista just released
there is a bit more presence from a couple MS employees in the vista
newsgroups, primarily Darrell Gorter and Jill Zoeler, but that will drop off
too.
I see you are using the web interface which is just awful. I suggest using
a newsreader to access what are actually Usenet newsgroup. Windows XP comes
with Outlook Express which can be setup for newsgroup access. Vista comes
with Windows mail, just subscribe to the Microsoft Communities. Here is a
link on setting up OE for newsgroup access. The experience is much better.

On the MS news server the Windows XP general newsgroup is:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...dowsxp.general
Vista General
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....vista.general
