Don't seem to be able to find a group about windows 7 ??? Is it under some 
other name? 

Technical support NNTP newsgroups are fast becoming obsolete.  You can 
obtain excellent advice in the new Microsoft Answers Windows 7 Forums:

Vista will do.  Win 7 is really Vista with service packs applied.  Not 
really much difference.

Ok, they fixed Outlook Express in Win 7 by not including it.

There are no Windows 7 newsgroups on the Microsoft servers. However, 
other news servers carry a group called alt.windows7.general.

But not carried on the Microsoft servers. Try any news service provider. 

I know that albasani.net (free) carries it :-)
