We need Windows 7 groups on the Microfoft News Server!

You can thank Frank and the Nymshifter for that.

Horseshit. You are the number one IDIOT that posts here with all your
Ubuntu trash. NOBODY here needs or wants that INFERIOR Ubuntu that is worth
exactly what you pay for it: N O T H I N G

If the answer is really THAT obvious, it would mean that its only a
matter of time before they shutdown the NNTP server for good. I mean, if
they don't plan to make any more new groups on it, it means they don't
plan to use it much longer.

Your fat-assed wife in a dark room so they can do unimagineable things to
her with hundreds of nuclear thumb drives.

Snipped remark,



As far as the flash drive, I am using to back up and replace cd.
Several data cds, can fit on a flash drive on 1 flash drive. All,
I will need is 4 possible six. possible six flash drive 4 gb flash
drives, I could reduce my cd space.

Yes, I know I could get bigger flash drive, which I am considering.

The evidence speaks for itself. Much of the MVP community has repeatedly
asked the same question and gotten no commitment for their creation, only
repeated statements regarding the new answers forum as the primary peer
support venue. Win7 is here and no groups have been created. With all prior
versions of Windows, groups were created months in advance of the release
date. What more evidence do you need?
