Default Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Online Communities

Starting in early summer 2010, Microsoft will begin progressively closing down the Microsoft public newsgroups

Which won't remove them from usenet, as most newsservers since long don't
automatically honour rmgroup control messages, if those are going to be issued
at all.

So while microsoft can stop running their own server, the groups will
continue to exist and be accessible to the majority of people who know
how to use a newsreader.
