I didn't get any further than clicking on the ordering link, as something doesn't seem right.  After clicking on the link, I got this security alert (using Opera 7.23):

Quote
The certificate for "profile.microsoft.com" is signed by the unknown Certificate Authority "profile.microsoft.com". It is not possible to verify that this is a valid certificate.


Has anyone gone all the way?  Are you asked for any details other than a delivery address?  Is it a scam to harvest e-mail addresses?  I know that Microsoft is an incompetent organisation that specialises in releasing flawed products, so anything is possible, but it seems unlikely that they wouldn't register their certificates.

OK, thanks Hookstar.  I'll get it ordered as I still run it, even though I have copies of ME, 2000 Pro and XP Pro.  It's stable and never crashes, unlike some of the later Microsoft operating system offerings.

I think Michelle and Stuart did under the table one night on Big Brother, but I don't think that was what you meant. ;D ;)
