Yesterday a new newsgroup was added to the range of publicly accessible Microsoft newsgroups - microsoft.public.sqlserver.newusers .
One possible reason for the creation of the new newsgroup is the availability of Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition which provides SQL Server 2000 at a competitive price. SBS2003 provides most of the software that a small business needs and the inclusion of SQL Server 2000 opens up new avenues of data storage to companies which might previously not have considered SQL Server on grounds of cost.
Assuming that SBS2003 Premium is selling well, then potentially there could be lots of new users of SQL Server 2000 who need support. I guess that a newsgroup dedicated to support of new users makes a lot of sense in that context.
