Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (
More info?)
Perhaps Jason may be able to come up with a better model for what the web
groups should look like and behave like. Microsoft may take a look at it
and put it on a list of programming work to do. But then again, being that
this is a 'free' thing, they probably feel it's good enough as is. I do
know there are 2 versions of the web based 'reader'... i saw a noticeable
difference between the view I used at work and the one I used at home. Now
I just use OE to read, and I find the interface familiar (behaves almost
exactly like Outlook, so I'm a happy camper) and easy to use.
Good luck in acclimating yourself!
