Could someone please tell me if there is a
dedicated Windows 7 OS Newsgroup, like this one for XP.

Non MS News group: alt.windows7.general

My server does not have that group. There are 2 italian windows 7
newsgroups. So far my experience with W7 is better than Vista, still
unstable, but not as bad as Vista. Still has the Media Player 12, which is
a crippled version of MP11.

Which is why there should be Windows 7 newsgroups here.

But there aren't, and it doesn't look as though there ever will be.
Some say this is may well be because of the stupid behaviour of a few
posters in the Vista General news group on this server...

Correction...
"... may well be because of the stupid behaviour of a few posters in the
Vista General news group ..."
-->
"... may well be because of the stupid behaviour of a few unbelievably
prolific and annoying posters in the Vista General and other related Vista
news groups ..."

Then again - it may just be 'moving on'. Newsgroups (I love them) are one
of the oldest forms of communications on the Internet - but they can be
confusing for the "McDonald's Menu" mindset. ;-)

ROTFL!

MS decided not to create any Win7-specific newsgroups so post your questions
here instead:

PS: All MS Answers forums *are* available via NNTP Bridge client beta!

Duh...I ordered a number 1 like I always do, but didn't get what I liked. Oh
well, I guess I'll like the fish sandwich now. It just so much easier to
change what I like instead of trying to figure out those really confusing
menu numbers and what number the Big Mac sandwhich combo is now.

Pick one:

But there isn't going to be one here, MS has made it quite clear they
have no interest in adding new newsgroups to this server.
