There are no newsgroups, but if you feel like wading through them, there are
Microsoft Forums, both the Answers and TechNet, in German.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/de-DE/categories
I'm not crazy about the forums, but they appear to be what MS likes now.

MS discontinued all German-language newsgroups on 01 June 2010. See

There are about 137 newsgroups matching on microsoft.public.de.* but
you'll have to use an NNTP server other than Microsoft's.
Microsoft is abandoning their 4-year experiment trying to usurp the
30-year Usenet with a forum-to-Usenet gateway to pretend they had forums
(aka "Communities") which was to provide a webnews-for-dummies interface
to Usenet. Microsoft is leaving Usenet. Usenet is not going away nor
are the microsoft.public.* newsgroups.
You are posting with Microsoft's NNTP server. Besides dropping
newsgroups, eventually Microsoft is going to drop their NNTP server.
Start hunting around now for other NSPs (newsgroup service providers).
Some are free, like albasani and eternal-september, and some are very
cheap, like individual.net at $16/yr. Some ISPs are still providing a
newsgroups service (their own or they contract with someone else, like
Giganews).
