Groove 2007 free trial: only if you have a US zip code?!

[StuddyMX]

Why is the Groove 2007 60 day free trial not available in the UK? I've tried
to download it but failed to meet the required form validation; because my
zip code (i.e. post code) was invalid.

Is there any plans afoot to enable users to download the Groove 2007 free
trial to help drive adoption here in the UK?

Many thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

My guess is that you have set your preference for http://office.microsoft.com to the U.S. rather than to the U.K.

If you click on the name of the country on the upper left of that page and change it to United Kingdom and [x] Remember this... then
click on the next page for the link to 'Try Microsoft Office' you should end up at the UK (en-gb) page that has a Groove trial
available.

Hi StuddyMX,

You may want to also post this question in the Groove newsgroup using the link below.

=================
However, I have just noticed if I send a 'Groove email invite' - in which new
users are prompted to download Groove, the hyperlink still takes them to the
US download site, not the UK site!

Is there a regional setting with Groove 2007 to resolve this?

Many thanks>>
