Here Goes!
I don't know what to think about this blogging thing but it seems like an interesting mechanism for sharing information.
I'm not sure if/why it's better than NNTP but it does seem to be the Big New Thing.
I only hope that I can provide value similar to folks like Raymond Chen.

Blogging is different than NNTP. For one you'll show up in Google's main search engine. Translation? Traffic. - Anonymous

The discourse itself does have big similarities with Usenet. The ownership mechanism is quite different. Time will tell if it will work better than Usenet moderation.
Actually, the content at blogs.msdn.com reminds me of ol' WinBBS (is that still in use? I guess not).
