I showed a friend how active this forum was.

I was at friends house tonight, he`s a musician that mixes his own music at home with a Rolland machine.We hapended to discuss how he had a problem once and found the solution on the "Cake Walk forum" which is on the Rolland site and how active and quick to get a response was , so i showed him this forum and was he amazed at all the activity.
Him being an Xp user asked if i knew of a Windows forum that was just as active, I had to answer probably not because i don`t know of any.
My question is to you all , is there a Windows help forum that even comes close to the Ubuntu forum that you know of.

There used to be. However, Microsoft shut that one down. Something about copyright laws and the unpaid technical support. Outside of that, there's the [H] forums (HardOCP.com) but it's mostly hardware only... active yes, but even then I don't recomend it. Those forums have fewer registered users, less threads, and not nearly the overall throughput of heavy traffic such as this one.

I think this is the best windows forum although it's mainly for windows 7, windows xp questions will also be answered in the appropriate section
www.sevenforums.com

I am a member of sevenforums and find them to be excellent in helping with Windows related problems. I dualboot Ubuntu/XP and though they predominantly Windows 7 oriented they have helped me with all my XP questions. Definitely worth checking out.

Tried them once, never got an answer until weeks later, by then,I had either fixed it, or it never showed again.

Tech-Forums (http://www.tech-forums.net/pc/) is nothing like Ubuntu Forums, but they're pretty helpful there. You usually can get some good responses within an hour or two. Sometimes right away.

Best Windows support I ever got was the usenet microsoft groups like msnews.microsoft.com usenet groups. Lots of MVP and long time Windows users on there solved some very weird problems for me I was having.

Personally, I think this is the best forum for all computing questions.

While there is no longer a section here for questions about other OSs, I would feel comfortable asking, in the Cafe or General Help, a question about a Windows issue. I would never recommend that a Windows only user join these forums, however. There is asking a couple of Windows questions about your dual-boot systems and then there is asking only Windows questions. The latter does not seem appropriate.

For a Windows forum, I'll second SevenForums.com. It is probably the most active of the Windows forums. Currently, there are nearly 150 members logged in to it, which is very respectable. (Ubuntu Forums has over 600 atm, but we won't talk about that ;))

I've actually never seen a forum for Windows that even comes close to the Ubuntu Forums.

We have community spirit.
