.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / March 2005difference in vsnet and vstudio newsgroups?
I subscribe to a few vsnet and vstudio newsgroups, but have often wondered what's the difference between them? Thanks. It's an unfortunate nomenclature decision from Microsoft. Originally (around 2002) the newsgroups for Visual Studio .NET were named microsoft.public.vsnet.*. In 2004 they added new newsgroups for the Visual Studio .NET IDE using microsoft.public.vstudio.* instead (such as the microsoft.public.vstudio.extensibility), apparently because the next IDE will not have ".NET" word in the name ("Visual Studio 2005"), but they should have waited and been consistent with the old nomenclature until VS 2005 ships.

Yes, but most people interested in .NET add-ins use the Yahoo forum instead, simply the best: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vsnetaddin/ > So MS only partially killed them off? More like abandoned them? It seems that newsgroups can not be killed, so they starve... > Why not finish the job and ease the confusion? :> The confusion will only increment when VS 2005 debuts with dedicated forums outside these newsgroups.
