After this newsgroup is dropped from the Microsoft newsservers (only) on 12
Sept-10, you will find continuing support in these WinXP-specific forums:
http://www.yqcomputer.com/

Please note that the Internet Explorer and Windows Update forums are *not*
WinXP-specific despite what you see on the WinXP forums home page. [What
were they thinking?] To expedite matters, always state you full Windows
version (e.g., WinXP SP3) and current IE version (e.g., IE6; IE7; IE8) when
posting in either of those forums.

Greg

Actually your absence there will be very welcomed by all at the MS Forums. I can
already see the mess that you and the others will create on those NNTP servers that
will carry this newsgroup

Why did you snip the rest of my sentence where I said pretty much the same
thing? Typical.

You may have meant to but your statement "After this newsgroup is
dropped from the Microsoft newsservers (only) on 12

forums:
http://www.yqcomputer.com/ "
says nothing about Usenet. Your message addressed only the forums.

"...dropped from the Microsoft newsservers (only)" = may be available on
other newsservers

FYI, MS is pulling the plug on or after 17:00 PDT (UTC -7) today.

Well my use of the Microsoft server has now ended (The last NG that I was
accessing through it, this one, has now been axed), so I have deleted the
Microsoft server from my NG reader.
Had a long browse through their Web "Forum" and it is just as porked as
their original one.
