Whether this impacts our little corner here, perhaps we're to below the radar.
Or maybe MSE and Defender will be grouped, who knows.

I just downloaded and installed the bridge but it takes a bit to finally get
it to work
at this rate I would rather do it through the web browser
doesn't show this newsgroup- only for now shows 23 forum/newgroups

The Bridge won't fully work until all the groups are moved to the Web UI [sic]
This was known for some time MS would do this, it has met with some chagrin
but, such is progress.
I for one, will *not* be viewing MS News on the Web as much as I now can under
my subscribed groups using Outlook Express, as I do (this one.)
Why will I not visit as much, MS whacks you with a *trans pixel gif file* when you login.
Automatically datamining you, no thanks.
The MS Alum community (that would include me) are viewing this move with some
scepticism.
Anyhow, enough said, I think, it's done or doing and we have to take our Apples.

I wanted to test it out and see what it was like,
I do not like it either and would prefer to just use the web forums
but I will really miss this group of people and also this particular
newsgroup including the windows update newsgroup

"I see Microsoft's move away from NNTP as yet more evidence of the growing
social-networking emphasis across the company. Anyone going to miss the old
forums (besides trolls and spammers)?"
Yes.
I guess it's probably time to retire W2K as well. ;-)

Actually, Bob, I had not seen that in that perspective, MS does seem to be making
a push to social-stuff in a big way. And why not ? There's billions at stake they might
as well take a stab at before Google does.

I would think so, isn't Win 2K beyond the support window ?
That would be Win 2K SP4 ?
Appreciate the comments ! Bob, you aught to drop by more often.

Surely not yet. My mother-in-law is still using it, and will continue to do
so unless her machine dies before she does--not impossible--she's 94, I
forget how old the machine is, but its no spring chicken.
When it was new, "legacy free" was a new buzzword, and I bought it for that
"feature." It served her well--the lack of parallel and ps/2 connectors has
meant that she can plug things in herself without as much handholding as
might have been needed otherwise.
