Microsoft's Mactopia site loses links to promotions and downloads

[Diane Ross]

What a mess! Microsoft launched it's new updated web site for Office for Mac
today and the links to promotions are messed up. There is no way for users
that are purchasing Office for Mac to view the offers or coupons at this
time. When you log into Mactopia you get the new link
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/comingsoon.htm. This includes the Mac Downloads
page!

Clicking on the Preview Office 2008 for Mac link offers a link to the Suite
Deal that just returns you to the main page. IMHO Heads should roll over a
mistake like this!

Looks like it's just a temporary page, a placeholder with very little
content in place. It should all resolve itself.

How temporary? This is just bad form especially now when there is a time
limit on promotions. Someone is being paid to do this work and putting up a
site like Microsoft that's accessed constantly with no material even for a
few hours is bad form IMO.
