Didn't work for me either, that link is dead now. I think someone fubar'ed it

According to Mike Brannigan (MSFT) until this page is linked to from the official SP2 page on Microsoft.com, you may not actually receive your CDs and orders may not be fulfilled since this page may not be formally actived yet.

It appears the ordering system has been downed intentionally.

Thanks for the clarification, Enyo.

I did receive an email confirmation, however, so it does seem like the order might be valid.

Ah well, I could always order another one when it comes back up.
As I said earlier...lots of friends who could make use of one.

Wish I had a holiday booked for next two weeks, Sun, Sea, surf, Cornish Pixies and NO MORE WAITING

wtf they closed the registration for the cds, i guess they only had a certain amount they can give out, damn i wanted to order one for my sister

 

[rushm001]

The order form will be back. I think the page was set up in aticipation of the SP2 release, but the link was released onto the net early so they pulled the plug on it for now.

Yes, it was regarding a couple of posts that I edited out (off-topic flamebait). Someone else seems to have deleted the posts now.
