Is there a public news server that carries these newsgroups?

[Guest]

Using the browser method is difficult, it won't show what threads have been
answered. I tried accessing my ISPs news server via the Outlook Newsreader,
but it does not carry this newsgroup, only
"microsoft.public.windows.vista.general"

Is there a public source for these newsgroups, or do I have to hit up my ISP
and start asking them for help?

Check out dotsrc @ http://dotsrc.org/usenet/. That is what I'm using to read
this group. It is free...

Albeit with Microsoft Entourage, which isn't the best newsreader I've seen.

Microsoft's public news server is free, and offers these groups.

Setup Outlook Express to use the news server: msnews.microsoft.com
