Subject: Windows 7 Forums NNTP bridge

 Just discovered this in the MS answers forum settings

 What is the "Use NNTP Bridge" option in My Settings?
 The NNTP Bridge Client application allows a user to configure their NNTP
 Reader to read and post to the forums. Users can install the client
 bridge at the Online Forums Connection. To use the bridge users must
 first select "Use NNTP Bridge" in the My Settings page. Note: at this
 time, there are no plans to localize the support documentation for the
 tool but the tool should work any locale forum. Users can visit the
 Online Forums Connection for more information, bug status and to report
 issues or suggestions

 Going to try it and will report back....

 BTW, it's only in Beta.....

And here's the link...

You have to add a news server at 127.0.0.1 and then subscribe to the
groups that you want to.

Yes, but it is better than having to use a web browser.

I guess, but the signal to noise ratio in there is terrible. I don't see
how that is BETTER than the newsgroups!
