First, get a newsreader. You can use Outlook Express as a newsreader if you
want to, follow the directions to configure it.
Set the server to "msnews.microsoft.com" and when it asks if you'd like to
download all news groups click yes, then search for
"microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general"
Probably just entering "64bit" in the search box will find it.
You don't need a username or password to use Microsoft's public newsserver.
