Subjects meaning newsgroups? They're being terminated on MS servers.

Newsgroups removed as of June 1, 2010

You can still access the groups on some non-MS servers such as Eternal
September, but how long the quality of questions and replies lasts is
unknown.

Yea, have fun scrolling thru 2000 different subjects on a web based forum
also.

Not good.
 
MS is in the process of shutting down all the NNTP newsgroups. Do a little
searching in this one to find out more.
