Are there no popular Windows usenet groups?
I've downloaded 50 of the most recent from about 20. So far none of
them seem to be trading messages that much back and forth.

I had the same experience, so some time ago I searched for and
subscribed to some groups.
This is my current list (aside from comp.os.ms-windows.misc and some
local-language groups):
alt.comp.os.windows-10
is quite active and also has some general - i.e. not 10-specific - stuff.
alt.comp.os.windows-8
has some - but not much traffic.
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
has some traffic, but probably mostly stuff which is cross-posted to
other groups.
This group is dead on the microsoft side, but is happily kept alive on >Usenet.
HTH.

Also add:
alt.windows7.general gets about 10-20 messages per day too.
(about 1/4 of the windows-10 group)
