As wll, being that my company was one that was invited to the Chicago launch. Well everything was going well untill I tried to run some updates and nothing. got that same error code, Im just worried now that I will be Screwed out of my free Office Professional and Groove software that I had also received at the event. Also as a side note besides the free software event was a waste no one seem to know what the were talking about. Waste of my time and gas money. Microsoft doesnt care about its users. Free or paid versions. So While they are wasting time scaming people and making useless ripoffs we have to suffer. boo Microsoft.

It should be well known by this crowd that you aren't necessarily going to be able to ship a product sooner by just throwing more people at it (read the Mythical Man-Month, for starters). And I can't believe anyone who has actually used it would consider Google Docs a serious alternative to MS Office.
