As had been announced for quite some while - among many other groups -
MS did meanwhile shut down this very NewsGroup.
Even if some third-party providers who had mirrored the groups have not
yet stopped offering the groups, this group is dead. There ain't no use
in further posting here.
The new place for OneNote is the forum "OneNote: Sharing, Creating and
Managing Notebooks" in the "MS Answers Forums" hierarchy:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/addonenote/threads
To take part one need's an MS Live account (which meanwhile has become
an essential, anyway).
Quite some folks who in the past had worked with a NewsReader (NUA) do
not like to visit the forums through a browser.
Therefore it's important that meanwhile proper instruments have been
created which enable the usage of the forums with all of the common
NewsReaders (like Forté Agent, 40tude Dialog etc.)and Mail Clients (like
Outlook Express [OE], WinMail, Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail etc.).
IMHO communicating through this channel one can be ways more productive
than wading through the forum's threads.
To do so a "bridge" is needed.
MS themselves have created two "NNTP bridges":
- Microsoft Answers NNTP Bridge (for the "Answers" forums;
- Microsoft Forums NNTP Bridge (MSDN, Technet and the rest).
The far better choice, however, is the "Community Forums NNTP bridge
created by the MVP J. Kalmbach
http://communitybridge.codeplex.com/
It has many fine features (even an auto-logon and it is really easy to
use.
Way to go:
(a) download the bridge and install it;
(b) in the NUA/mail-client create a News-account:
(aa) Servername: 127.0.0.1
(bb) Serverport #: 119
(c) start the NNTP bridge
(d) logon to MS Live;
(e) start the NUA/mail-client.
The NNTP bridge has to be started prior to starting the NUA/mail-client.
If the option "Auto start NNTP server" is selected, the login to MS Live
will be automatically.
The start of the bridge can be automatically if included in the Win
"Autostart"/"StartUp".
Hope this helps in getting connecting again!

P.S. For the users of Outlook Express (OE) and WinMail:
The good old "OE-Quotefix" co-operates pretty fine with the bridge
