I think it was just 'windows' or 'windows-general'. Not window-7 like one would think.
But what did we know about the future back then.

Just looked. alt.comp.microsoft.windows At least that's the way I thought it was.

It's just one name that used to be very busy, but is now almost dead.
The Windows 10 newsgroup is still relatively busy, with people posting
Windows 7 content. Both newsgroups are listed here. I have also included
the Windows 11 newsgroup, as it is likely to take over when Windows 10
is no longer active.

alt.windows7.general
alt.comp.os.windows-10
alt.comp.os.windows-11

What did you expect, +20 newsgroups about W7?

I would have settled for half that.

So, 10 newsgroups, all about W7. What would be the difference between
those 10?
