Hi quick question - Are the same newsgroups available via microsoft's web
based newsreaders as those available through news.microsoft.com?

For example, I can't seem to find the 'general questions' group from
Microsoft's site through the news.microsoft.com server.

Any ideas?

I believe that they all are... but they may have different names.

Access general questions are in the newsgroup
"microsoft.public.access".
