Which XP newsgroups?
I will soon be using XP at home as well as work (bought a netbook -
Samsung NC-20). I have found these three '9x 'groups, on the whole, helpful, friendly, and fun (OK, I've had run-ins with some people!), and was wondering which of the many XP 'groups those here would suggest joining - and, at least as important, which you'd advise avoiding. -- J.

These two groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support have extremely high traffic and your questions have a high probability of being ignored or maybe get one or two replies at most. I tend to post (or, usually, cross-post) XP questions to these groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage microsoft.public.windowsxp.setup_deployment If your question is technically not about XP (but about IE or Outlook, or Excel, Word, etc) then you should post it in an XP-IE or XP-Outlook group, etc. Questions relating to security, viruses, spyware, etc, should be posted to: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin microsoft.public.security.virus |
