Since I’d been very enamored with Sharepoint services a year ago (built five intranet proof of concepts in a few hours), I thought I’d sign up at Microsoft’s site to get in to the free 30 day trial demo and see what was new.
As you can see from the screens above, my experience wasn’t very good. The screenshot on the left is what I experienced over and over again when trying to register (it finally was fixed by a server administrator, I presume, since I was able to get in an hour later).
The screenshot on the right is what I experienced inside the demo when clicking on the “Home” link from within the demo site itself. If you popup the window and squint, perhaps you’ll notice I came in on Firefox and Mac OS X, but this is a server issue.
Microsoft may be missing an opportunity.
