The desktop link now hits a Microsoft 'Try or Buy site' which gives the
option for an outright license purchase or a 60 day free trial download. No
'1 year pre-paid activation feature' of any kind. Have we been sold short?

The servers are being updated which is causing the return of this error
message. Please use the 25 boots for the trial and check back shortly.
Apologize for the inconvenience.

I've just taken delivery of a Samsung N140 Netbook with Windows 7 and have exactly the same problem. MS Office is preinstalled together with a desktop icon labelled 'Microsoft Office 1-year Prepaid - Online' This runs "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Activation Assistant for Netbooks\" which hits https://trial.trymicrosoftoffice.com...k/connect.aspx giving the following error: HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to server configuration.
Internet Information Services (IIS).
Have logged a service request with Samsung and will post back with an update.
