Hi Mark -- I am still fighting with microsoft's live id signup. Seems no 
matter what I do I end up going in circles, ending up right back where I 
started with no login.  I was so aggravated I am just returning from a break 
from the keyboard...  I have wasted yesterday and much of today on and off 
trying to do a simple signup operation on live.com.  I even am able to hear 
the audio captchas, but even so, I still can't complete the process.  My 
learning curve appears to be a circle as they say.
So if anyone has any choice words.. (um, I mean helpful comments) I would be 
very grateful if it solves the problem.
Note that it might be a problem on the microsoft site itself, as last night 
there was a message coming up that said due to technical difficulties new 
signups could not be processed.  I haven't seen that message today, but I 
still am on this merry-go-round.
TIA all and happy hacking.

Laura,

I had exactly the same problem as yourself, although I was trying to get
hold of the 2008 version. I did eventually manage to obtain an ISO file of
all modules, which I still have. Obviously I appreciate that's not a great
deal of use to you as you're after 2010. I'll keep trying and get back to
you, although I daresay someone will beat me to it.

Mark
