The following message from the Microsoft Communities Team explains why you can now only access newsgroup postings from the last 30 days but also includes a link to the newsgroup archives:

"Hi All,

For several days, we have been experiencing slowdowns in the Microsoft newsgroups. The combination of the recent waves of spam and viruses generated several issues that Microsoft teams are troubleshooting now. In the meantime, to help deal with the slowdowns, we are reducing our message archive from 90 days to 30 days for newsreaders (such as Outlook Express).

To access discussions older than 30 days, you can use this page:

Sincerely,
Microsoft Communities Team.
