Newsgroup for Windows 7

[JayJay]

Sorry about posting this in the Vista newsgroup but I can't find any
newsgroup dealing with Windows 7, are there any?
I need to ask a couple of questions in regards XP Mode, if there
aren't any newsgroups for Windows 7 what would be the next best place
to ask?

For reasons best known to Microsoft there are now two web-based forums.

The newer one is
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7 and
the older, originally for the beta and RC, is
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/w7itpro/.

Until Win7 is officially released, the only support on is on Web forums -
someone else will tell you where, but professionals don't like Web. We
prefer Newsgroups Reader and Win7 NG doesn't exiust yet simply because
Win7 is not yet on store shelves!

So, you've talked to all the professionals about the Web? You know that for
a fact? Seems you are blowing smoke out your ass again. Especially from
someone who has no clue how to change the time on his PC.

Whether KMS will created Win7 NG remains to be seen, I am afaraid they're
more inclined towards Web intercae these days and that would be a bad
move....

What you are afraid of is changing the time on your clock. That scares you
to death. Other technology is way over your head. I am surprised that you
can type.

Sorry for the typos, here's a clean version:

sorry for the typos? Sure, you don't even know how to change the time on
your clock so spelling and using Spell Check is way over your head. I am
sure you had to have someone help you with the task.

I never read a bottom poster, because I usually don't see the stuff at the
bottom. I'm sure not going to scroll for it.

Then, read the last page of a book...and toss it.

I was right earlier. You must not have gotten laid last night.

 

[Spanky de Monkey, ESQ]

Being married, not a hard guess.

You should see the movie "Couples Retreat" if you haven't already. Took the
wife to see it last night. After dinner and a movie, came home.... Got
laid. I'm a happy camper.

You live in a tent?
Maybe a bear was what you really hooked up with.

yea, I live in a 5 bedroom tent with cable. How did you know?

I almost forgot. I have internet access also.

 

[Spanky de Monkey, ESQ]

But, did you hear weird growling?
Bears mimic women.

Maybe that is what you are use to. I think you might have been married too
long. How often do you have to shave your wife's back?

Thanks to those that helped.

So you read a book from the bottom up?
Moron.

 

[Rick Rogers]

No, but I don't reread the 1st paragraph to get to the 2nd one either. When
you read a succession of bottom posted messages, this is what you'd have.
Bottom posting is useful when one only reads the last post, something most
regular readers here rarely do. Microsoft's hosted newsgroups have been
heavily top-posted for over a decade, so it's the norm here.

I can give you a string of arguments for both sides, but it's irrelevant.
Fact is, no one will win this debate. Just because bottom posting was the
original usenet convention does not make it immune to change. If you want to
continue this specious debate, feel free to do so but it's pointless as
neither side will win. Personally, I've always found it best to just follow
whatever convention is used by any given group.

Err - At least he can Err read. Err. Unlike yourself. Err.

Are you wearing your NET COP badge? <sigh> Err.
