Nope - this is the only one.I just installed a new computer and it comes with Win7 (my old
computer had WinXP). This is the only newsgroup I have found for
Win7. Are there additional newgroups available for Win7? If so,
where are they located?
Thanks

Yes and no. NNTP on a private server can be monitored and controlled,Char said:I'm guessing the move to web-based forums has at least two prongs.
First, most people are familiar with a web browser, so it makes some
sense to put support information at the other end of a web browser.
To many people, the web is the Internet. I get calls on a daily basis
from people who say, "My Internet is broken", when all they mean is
that they have a problem with their web browser.
Second, moving from Usenet to the web might allow more control over
user behavior. Content that's extremely off topic, racist,
hate-filled, etc., can simply be deleted in a web forum, while that
same content can't be deleted from Usenet due to its distributed
architecture.
Me, too.As a bonus, a web-based solution allows links to be placed all over
each page to all kinds of other content, not to mention embedded
graphics and all other kinds of graphical niceties that aren't
possible in a text-based medium like Usenet.
Editorial: Some of the things I like best about Usenet are the fact
that it doesn't provide or require all of the above.
It is not as good as this one .......Nope - this is the only one.

referring to, then the monitor and control aspect was very limited,
almost to the point of being nonexistent.
