Learn how to use a News Client.

The following news URL will take your default news client to;
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

The reason you're having such problems is that you are using the web
interface to read this newsgroup--it's the slowest, clunkiest, most
error-prone method there is. Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader,
such as Outlook Express, which comes with Windows.

I am sick of you posting false garbage.
I don't get errors in it!
Where is your proof of your self-centered, wide-ranging statements?

"The reason you're having such problems is that you are using the web

I have had a gutful of you, are your BS.
Post the truth; if you can, which I doubt!

The Web CDO is a poor way to access Usenet based news groups at its best.

Accessing the groups from a news client is the *best* way to access the microsoft.*
hierarchy or any Usenet news group.
 
"The Web CDO is a poor way to access Usenet based news groups at its best."

Once again, YOUR opinion; not mine.
Just answer the OP's question.

Its a fact. Using a http web interface is a poor way to access Usenet. It doesn't matter
if its Microsoft's or another.

You can't access the wealth of Usenet as it has to offer.
You can't ...
search easily
see headers
get attachments
see the flow of a thread properly
go from group to group in one easy download
etc.

You might call it my opinion but the fact remains it just limits your capabilities.
Having used both and having been on Usenet for almost 20 years I know the difference.
 
You are a closed-mind, self-opiniated clown.
If people like to use something, let them use it.
Just because you can't use the Web Interface, you shove your own way to do it.

Grow up!
 
And I go from Group to Group in 1 easy click.
And threads are laid out in proper sequence.
The only thing I can't check is IPs; and why would I want to.

I know where I am up to with the W.I.
AND, I never tick for replies.
I have posted here info for "how to" for the Newsreader.
That is why I say: ANSWER the OP

"You might call it my opinion but the fact remains it just limits your
capabilities"
You are a bigotted, one-eyed CLOWN
