Hi ,

I am rather impressed with forum like linuxquestions where everyone is so keen on helping each other. I wonder if any good windows forum just like here out there? My company mainly use linux server but there are applicaiton server going to use windows so i gona brush up my windows skills too... I found "expert exchange" is pretty good but you seems to have to pay to get in... would be appreciated if anyone can share some good windos forum.

thx in advance.

http://www.windowsforum.org is a very good one.

Why would you expect anyone on a linux site to direct you to a windows site?

But since I'm nice, I will confirm that the above site is a good one

I used to use the Microsoft newsgroups - lots of extremely knowledgeable and cooperative people there.

hmm, coz i consider both are just tool on which I have no like or dislike.Besides, I thought this day it rather common to have both type of os sit around (else we wouldn't have things like samba, right?) So, I was hoping to get some forum where ppl have knowledge on both area( as my company use both type of server and my knowledge of windows server is little).

I have a look of the windowforum it seems not too bad.Thanks for the great info. If i have pure windows question i tend to go newsgroup. But if i can't decide it, i would prefer to go to forum where ppl can give non-bias opinion

ps: i wouldn't ask good linux forum in windoz forum coz i know most of them can't adapt command promot (or yet)... but not vice versa.^^"

Microsoft (usenet) newsgroups are the best place:

EDIT: LOL, pays to read all the replies before posting I guess, as I see XavierP beat me to it. hehe. Well, I added a couple links anyway. Used to participate on the SBS (Small Business Server) board myself.
