Since these are private newsgroups, your server will require you to logon using the following information:
* Server: privatenews.microsoft.com * Account name: privatenews\64bit * Password: 64bit * Note that the password is case-sensitive.
There's only one newsgroup under the server and that's for Windows-64. PlanetAMD64 is also a good place to get information and drivers. Not a huge amount of traffic but a good repository of information and links and drivers.
