Windows 7

[Guest]

I cannot find a newslist to ask questions about Windows 7 (except one in
Italian). Does a Windows 7 newslist exist?

Microsoft decided to go with web forums rather than Usenet NNTP newsgroups:

Forum support only (especially since Win7 doesn't include a default
Mail/News Client):

Win7 Via NNTP: alt.windows7.org

If you need a server to access it:

AIOE.Org

You mean a newsgroup, not a newslist.

Yes, but...

Unfortunately it's highly unlikely that there will be any Microsoft
Windows 7 newsgroups. Apparently Microsoft has decided that web-based
forums are better than newsgroups and they are putting their efforts
there. I'm personally sorry that's the case, but it's their decision,
not mine.

However there is at least one non-Microsoft Windows 7 newsgroup:
alt-windows7.general. Not all servers carry it (at least not yet), but
here's one free news server that does: aioe.org
