Plenty...


Here is just a small sampling of examples.

	http://discuss.develop.com/
	
	http://www.wincvs.org/
	
	news://microsoft.public.dotnet.framework
	news://microsoft.public.developer
	news://microsoft.public.vc.mfc
	news://microsoft.public.vc.source-editing.
	news://microsoft.public.vstudio.general*
