Default Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Online Communities

I am still a little confused! Since this group also runs through a web
interface, will the web interface remain or is the entire group being
shelved?


I'm not completely sure, but I believe they will be scrapping the whole
current Webnews/NNTPNews structure to one or more online forums, possibly in
a combination of the Microsoft Answers forums and the developer forums on
MSDN. What's on Answers for Access right now is not nearly deep or
structured enough to be very useful, so I think they'll have to revise that
organization. I would much prefer to have all content related to Access
under one umbrella, not split into Answers (end-user content) and MSDN
(developer content), since Access is both an end-user app and a developer
app, with no clear dividing line.
