Forums are easier for people seeking help who don't plan to hang around
forever... they come in, ask a question and leave until they have another
problem.

But there are fools, like me, who search for an answer before they
ask...
I must admit, if I have a MS product problems, I search in the
newsgroups first, then google/LiveSearch, but never in the forums. I
want not see the same questions in the forums again.

On the other side, a lot of MS Blogs, MS Websites and the Vista Help
refer to the MS Newsgroups, not to MS Forums. :/

OK, I never understand why MS use Forums AND Newsgroups (some about the
same content), but this is another question.

For the most part the Forums and the Newsgroups are actually the same -- in
other words if you were to go to the Forums you'd see the same posts you see
in the Newsgroups. Just two different interfaces to the same content.

One of which works marginally. The other is abysmal.
