Microsoft private newsgroups gone wrong?


Recommended Posts

While I was looking around the Microsoft newsgroups I logged into the Microsoft Private one (privatenews.microsoft.com) and saw they have might have a problem.

You can now see all of the newsgroups on that server, but you cant log onto them if you dont have the specific permissions, its interesting cause you see newsgroups for the staff and other betas.

Heres a sample of what I saw, I think its a problem with there server allowing anyone to see the newsgroups there:

My company is a "Microsoft Certified Partner" and with that title, we get access to these newsgroups. There OK, but truthfully I get better responses from the public newsgroups...

OK, I've just logged back in and I only have the 2003 server ones now :'(

Someone must have notified them :(

Well gee someone at MS could have read this thread. Not hard to figure that out.
