When will this Happen?
Effective June 1, 2010 this newsgroup will be closed.
Ah hah!

You ME lusers!

Microsoft did *not* post a similar message in win98.gen_discussion.

You people will soon be toast!

I'm reading this in Win7, but running (not right this very instant) Win2.03,
WFW3.11, Win95a, Win98se, WinMe, Win2k, and XP three times (having removed
Win95b, NT3.51 and NT4.0 as surplus to requirements). Also MS-DOS 5.00 and
6.22 (though haven't put 8.00 back...yet!) and DR-DOS 7.03.

Basically I've set it up to demonstrate something of the evolution of the PC
OS since Windows for the technically-inquisitive newbie.

Users champion a particular Windows version because that was the one they
were using when it all fell into place for them and the low-level panic in
the background was finally overcome by the relief of understanding what they
were doing. And they resisted moving on, like when old age hits and you turn
Tory overnight in terror of the unpredicatable future.

Thus the 98 groups remain viable, because they have so many shrinking
violets still pretending to be engaged in something constructive as opposed
to the circle jerk it really is.

There is nothing particularly special about 98. Believe me.

Signed

Whoever I am this week.

Oh - sorry, you won't be able to, the groups will have closed.

In the meantime, MS's closure of their servers may well precipitate a domino
effect on the leeches - around two-thirds of the traffic in the groups comes
through the MS servers, so once they die, so does two-thirds of the traffic.
I don't think many people will bother going elsewhere for NG access, they'll
simply go to the forums.

It's funny that you call the rest of usenet "leeches".

It was Microsoft itself, back in 1996, that exuberantly proclaimed that
they were peering themselves with the rest of usenet, with the express
intention of improving problem-solving and trouble-shooting
accessibility for users.

And it's Microsoft that has been peering their NNTP server with the rest
of usenet ever since. It's their choice. They wanted it like this.

Do you have any authoritative source for that metric?
Post by Noel Paton
so once they die, so does two-thirds of the traffic.
You are assuming that nobody that currently uses Microsoft's
web-interface to these groups will start using a news-reader, or that
those that do use a news-reader will point it to an alternate server. I
would call that an unfounded, even ignorant assumption.

And what of the current forums that Microsoft will not duplicate? IE6?
Win 9x/me?

This deadline period of June - October 2010 corresponds with the end of
all support for Windows 2000 and IE6. My guess is that there will be no
new forums created for products that pre-date:

- Windows XP SP3
- IE7
- Office 2003

And no forums for

- Visual Studio 6
- Back Office
- Outlook Express

MS has never declared its servers as being part of Usenet - it's simply
allowed Usenet to leech posts ( it reduces bandwidth, after all), and feed
responses to its own groups.
To be part of Usenet, it would have had to acknowledged the UseNet
protocols - which it never has done, AFAIK. It would also have needed to
host other groups, which it certainly never has done.

In order for posts made via the Microsoft servers to appear on other
news servers world-wide, Microsoft *must* arrange for peering with other
servers. If such an arrangement was not in place, then I would not be
able to see your post on the NNTP server I use (aioe.org).

And you would not be able to see my reply to you, the one you are
reading right now, unless the peering was bi-directional. And none of
this could happen unless microsoft operated their own NNTP server, that
fully impliments usenet NNTP message transport protocals. Further more,
you can use any newsreader to access microsoft's nntp server directly,
to read and post messages.

Finally, if these posts really are "leeched" into and out of microsoft's
servers, against microsoft's desire or intentions, then explain the
following:

Microsoft PressPass - Microsoft Announces Internet Newsgroups For
Peer-to-Peer Discussions on Microsoft Products

REDMOND, Wash., April 9, 1996 — Microsoft Corp. today announced the
addition of no-charge Microsoft-sponsored NNTP newsgroups on the
Internet to its family of Information Services offerings. This new
service boosts Microsoft's Internet presence and further addresses
customer demand for one-stop information and services over the Internet.

Microsoft is investing in the newsgroups to create a community in which
customers can share technical information about Microsoft products and
technologies. Microsoft Newsgroups are scheduled to be live and
accessible to customers on April 15, 1996, via the Support area of the
Microsoft World Wide Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/support/).

"Our goal is to provide accurate and timely information that is widely
available and affordable for our customers, and the Internet newsgroups
are one more way for us to meet this goal," said Linda Glenicki, general
manager of AnswerPoint at Microsoft. "Customer discussion groups provide
a rich source of technical information, and the increasing popularity of
the Internet allows us to provide access to this information to a very
broad set of customers."

Microsoft Newsgroups on the Internet will replace Microsoft-sponsored
forums on CompuServe as of April 20. CompuServe customers can easily
link to the Microsoft support Web site and the newsgroups from the
Microsoft Connection area on CompuServe. In addition, CompuServe will
offer third-party forums on Microsoft products.

Customers currently access the Microsoft Frequently Asked Questions,
Knowledge Base, and Software Library more than 850,000 times per week on
the Internet. The addition of Microsoft Newsgroups rounds out
Microsoft's Internet offerings by providing an interactive environment
for customers to send each other messages and responses about Microsoft
products. Customers need only an NNTP-compatible newsgroup reader and
Internet access to connect to Microsoft Newsgroups at no charge
(Internet connection charges apply).

Microsoft MVPs (most valuable professionals) will provide technical
answers and foster the growth of the online community. Microsoft will
stay involved in Microsoft Newsgroups, monitoring responses for accuracy
and assisting MVPs as needed. The MVP program recognizes Microsoft
customers who voluntarily assist others in customer-to-customer
discussion areas. Microsoft MVPs come from a wide range of backgrounds
and professions, yet they all share one key attribute: a willingness to
give time, expertise and advice to enhance other customers' technical
skills.

"Being an MVP is a natural extension of my desire to help others solve
their computing roadblocks," said Ross Pfaff, who was recognized as an
MVP in August 1995. "Whether it's a mission-critical situation or a
home-entertainment problem, assisting fellow computer users as an MVP
allows me to give back some of what I've been given: knowledge and
satisfaction." For more information on the MVP program or how to become
an MVP, please see the About Support area of the Microsoft World Wide
Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/supportnet/).

Founded in 1975, Microsoft (NASDAQ "MSFT" ) is the worldwide leader in
software for personal computers. The company offers a wide range of
products and services for business and personal use, each designed with
the mission of making it easier and more enjoyable for people to take
advantage of the full power of personal computing every day.

Microsoft is either a registered trademark or a trademark of Microsoft
Corp. in the United States and/or other countries.

It would also have needed to host other groups, which it certainly
never has done.
Actually, no.

This shows just how much you know about usenet.

Anyone operating a usenet server can choose which newsgroups he will
carry on his server. It's not uncommon for smaller operators to not
carry the binary groups, for example, because of the bandwidth those
groups consume, and the hard drive space needed for decent retention.

Microsoft logically chooses to carry only the microsoft.public hierarchy
of news groups on it's NNTP server(s).

I suggest you read the following before you embarrass yourself further:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/guide/newsgroupfaq.mspx

You can access microsoft's nntp server by pointing your news reader to
msnews.microsoft.com (207.46.248.16).

Post by Noel Paton
There is a world of difference between "made it available to
anyone on the Usenet." and actually being 'part of Usenet'.
The continuance of discussing that point is, well, pointless, because
it's a matter of opinion how to interpret Microsoft's wording and
intention, and discussing that takes away from the more relavent points
such as whether or not Microsoft was operating a true NNTP server, and
if posts made to that server were being "leeched" by usenet at large.
That is the point that you don't want to discuss, because I've posted
overwhelming evidence that your point of view or your understanding is
wrong.

I'm reading this in Win7, but running (not right this very instant)
Win2.03, WFW3.11, Win95a, Win98se, WinMe, Win2k, and XP three times
(having removed Win95b, NT3.51 and NT4.0 as surplus to requirements).
Also MS-DOS 5.00 and 6.22 (though haven't put 8.00 back...yet!) and
DR-DOS 7.03.
Basically I've set it up to demonstrate something of the evolution of the

Users champion a particular Windows version because that was the one they
were using when it all fell into place for them and the low-level panic
in the background was finally overcome by the relief of understanding
what they were doing. And they resisted moving on, like when old age hits
and you turn Tory overnight in terror of the unpredicatable future.
Thus the 98 groups remain viable, because they have so many shrinking

There is nothing particularly special about 98. Believe me.
