re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread

The site is currently experiencing technical difficulties, please check back in the next business day.


That's useless - it came up after I had entered my details.

re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread

I got to the page were it asks you to confirm name etc etc and asks some questions. Soon as you click continue . . . . . . . . . .Server to busy !

whats the point in that. Prioritize traffic thats futher ahead and then people wont have to keep loading the page again and again when they've already been through it 500 times !

This is typical. I always timeout when trying to access beta's etc etc.

Because it's Microsoft. You don't expect them to be able to think of that all on they own do you?
