You may be out of date here, Microsoft announced about three years ago
they were abandoning Usenet, and as far as I know, they have. The
groups still exist, but they're empty now. I used to be active on the
Small Business Server group, and that definitely died then, they have
moved it all to a web forum system, with voting and point-scoring and
much silliness, along with an altered interface every now and then.
