Possibly A Dumb XP Question . . .

[Garry Douglas]

Are there any XP specific newsgroups? I can't find anything in the groups
carried by my news server.

Thanks

In your news reader, configure a new account for: msnews.microsoft.com.
There you'll find a group called microsoft.public.windowsxp.general as well
as several other XP specific choices.
