By far the best way to read the newsgroups is to use a news reader, e.g. Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Live Mail, Thunderbird, Forte Agent., ...
The Microsoft public newsgroups are hosted at
msnews.microsoft.com
If you really want to use the web-based reader it is at
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspxOr you can use Google Groups.
