The story behind the URLs...
A couple years ago, MS decided they wanted to create more of a user
COMMUNITY feel. And they're still working that idea, somewhat. They sent
all the MVPs and partners these "community" URL stickers and we all used
that link. And then...as Linda pointed out recently...they rethought the
plan and decided to add the newsgroups on a more simple
support.microsoft.com URL...in an effort to simplify many URLs so folks
can more easily remember them.
Plus, the browser newsgroup interface is a fairly new way to get to the
newsgroups. Prior to a couple years ago...you HAD to use a newsreader to
get there via the msnews.microsoft.com news server. But once we beta
tested the web interface and they worked out some issues, they put it up
in the community area. But it worked out so well...and so many folks can
get into newsgroups at the office due to firewalls, that they added it
to the support area.
They also have it segmented off for developers in the MSDN area and for
IT folks in the TechNet area.
The only true way to get to ALL the newsgroups in all languages, for all
technologies in one place, is to use Outlook Express or some other
newsreader, like Free Agent, and go to msnews.microsoft.com. The browser
interfaces have different groups pulled for different areas of
expertise. Although support and communities may now be all the same? (I
don't know for sure as I use a newsreader and go in via the back
door!<g>)

Thank you Linda and Dian for your answers about User Information on a PC
and how it relates to inserting comments in Word. I'm sure you're both
right that it can't be done, but one can always hope:)
I noticed that the links you gave me differ slightly and for the life of
me I can't see how they relate to each other. They have virtually the
same information, but have a different look to the web pages (and of
course different URLs). At first I thought one was just a drilled-down
part of the other, but I can't see that after all. Obviously this is
not very important, but I am curious.
Thanks.
Diane
