I'm afraid you're the one who needs to learn what Usenet is and is not
;) If MS didn't want Google to archive their groups articles, then
Google would have to stop, as has happened with quite a few
servers(including mine). All you have to do is look at the headers to
see where an article is being posted from, if you know how, that is ;)
Microsoft does *not* peer with any other newsservers, and is *not* a
part of Usenet, peroid. Do your homework...

Microsoft's servers don't seem to carry any non-microsoft groups, but they
do
use the NNTP protocol for usenet.

If she checks she will find that many ISP/Business and even personal
servers carry the MS groups, once MS makes them public any Usenet server
can subscribe to them.

...or archive them.

In a sense, NNTP goes beyond USENET and can be used
outside of usenet at large. Jen posting from there makes the
statement true for her except for the fact that her posts are
broadcast and propagated to usenet at large.

So *this* is usenet, but what she experiences is microsoft's
microcosm of newsgroups because of the limits imposed by
microsoft by only carrying their groups.
