Yes, the Microsoft newsgroups on Usenet used to be frequented by 
users and Microsoft MVPs, but as far as I know unfortunately 
Microsoft closed their Usenet newsgroups last year:
<http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx>.

The PowerPoint newsgroup, like the other microsoft.public ones, is 
still on Usenet (and also available via Google Groups, at the link 
you gave 
<http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.powerpoint/topics>), 
but since June 2010, there have been few posts or answers, and none 
of them from MVPs, who now post on Microsoft Answers.

Not the way I like it, but the way it seems to be.
