What replaces this group?

[Harry Strybos]

Hi All

Sad to see this group fold up. After considerable pain I managed to get the
NNTP Bridge work....

What is the equivalent of this group. Currently I can see
Msdn.en-US.vbgeneral and Msdn.en-US.vblanguage

Is this where I should be looking?

Thanks

vbgeneral would be mostly it, with a bit of vblanguage too. I tend to use
the NNTP bridge through OE to see what's new and then the forum if I want to
reply to something. The forum isn't really /that/ bad when you get used to
it; if you try it you may want to change the setting to indent replies.
Still not as efficient as a newsgroup though.

are you aware of news.eternal-september.org ?
this ng and others are still available, just not on MS servers for long

Are all of the Microsoft newsgroups closing? If so when and where do you get
replacements for them?
