I cannot get any Newsgroups for Windows 7 when I click on Tools/Newsgroups. How can I correct this? Please use easy instructions since I am self-taught user. Thank you.

Hi, Thank you for the reply. The link you gave me is the best one for information on Windows 7! I finally found out that Windows 7 do not include Windows Mail as in Vista. You seem to be very knowledgeable, so, would you by any chance know how I can get something similar to Windows Mail to install it with Windows Vista?

We complained for years that Windows was bloated, and that each successive version got bigger by including all kinds of programs that were not really part of the operating system itself. So, Microsoft make Windows 7 less bloated than Vista - by leaving out some programs, such as Mail, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Messenger... But, for those of us who want those functions - and don't want to buy a third-party program - Microsoft provides the Windows Live Essentials. FREE!
Just go to http://download.live.com and take what you want off the rack - for free. Download and install whatever you like. ;<)
I say it's like the Ford dealer saying, "No, the new car does not come with a radio. You can go to Best Buy or Wal*Mart or wherever and buy the one you like best. Or, just drive around back to our service department and we will install one of ours free."
And, as Mikey said, Microsoft does not host any Windows 7 newsgroups; they want us to use the forums. :>(
There is at least one Usenet newsgroup for Win7 (alt.windows7.general); perhaps others will appear in time.

Many thanks!I found your reply most interesting and helpful. Now I know where I stand regarding Win.7 I think the prime mover to eliminate the items you mention and the Newsgroups was Microsoft's effort in cost cutting. Look at the number of people they are getting rid of. "R. C. White" <r...@grandecom.net> wrote in message news:%23js8iENXKHA.4360@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
