   Mostly correct. However, on one setup I used (at work), it did: I think   
   it called the msimn.exe that was present. But - IIRR, it was well over a   
   decade ago, maybe two - it presented the news component as if it was   
   inside the Outlook hierarchy.   
      
   We learnt - again, I forget details - to be careful how to phrase   
   enquiries to the internal IT helpdesk, because "we do not support news"   
   or some similar phrase, but if you phrased the question in a suitable   
   way, they did help. (It became moot eventually, because they closed down   
   news - unfortunately, as it both had some access to usenet, and had some   
   internal-to-the-company newsgroups, so there was obviously a news server.)
