I have been trying to download MSDN Community Distribution CD March 2008 for a week or so, which requires registration to access the download. OK, I was trying to register pressing Continue button to be taken to “Registration Required for This Download”. I had Passport account some time ago which I tried to use to Sign In, but it was rejected as non-existing. OK, it could expire or so, I was trying to Sign Up also. But I wonder what could be the reason to show “Windows Live ID is experiencing technical difficulties” for a week and be unable to sign up a new user?
Finally registered via https://signup.live.com/newuser.aspx using a link from another blog hosted by live.com (other attempts led to the mentioned error above). It was not easy!
