Hi,

Two weeks ago, I received an email containing the registration link for the Office365 Beta. But everytime I sign up my organization, this error appears in the next screen, this has not happened to us when we signed up for BPOS trial before. :(

" There was a problem processing your request

We apologize for the inconvenience. The problem is temporary, so please try again later.

Support information

Error: Unknown application error occurred.

Correlation ID: 5d051961-dbae-4b0b-859c-1705e7adb399

Error code: 0 "

Is there a current issue that prevents us from registering?

Your immediate feedback would be appreciated.

Apart from the new version, what are the other changes in office 365, it looks very same like BPOS, probably i can say tht GUI is different and attrective. still i dont see anything for administration, only creating user, changing pwd and few more controls but what else ?

@Elisabeth: Apologies for the appearance that we've forgotten about you. We've had several changes to the emailing schedule, as we decided that there wasn't any point to spam your inbox until we had better information to share. Rest assured we have your information, and you will get a chance to beta test Office 365 before launch. I thank you for your patience. In the meantime, continue to read our blog here for more information. This is the best place to stay up to date on the latest news and what is coming for you business.

You say that if I have not gotten into the beta yet I'll get a monthly e-mail with the latest status on the service until I get in or you launch. You say you won't forget about me, and I'll be among the very first to learn when the service launches.

I signed up for the beta months ago for my farm business, and my boss signed up for our PR business. Neither of us has ever received an acknowledgement or monthly status email.So it kind of looks like you did forget about me, or maybe both of us got lost in the system and will never get in?

I am writing you from Japan to say that O365 is going to make my job easier. I really like what I am seeing here with O365. The one main point for me is that you get so much more admin control in O365. That will really make many time consuming tasks much easier.

@Kiran, Yes, that is correct about Kiosk workers. Also, the migration is handled on our end, so no, you won't have to worry about any upgrades or migration. You just need to make sure you are compliant with the specifications listed on Office365.com.

Thanks Allen, thats great.

so, I am guessing the "Deskless worker suite" which is $3 in BPOS will actually go down to $2 with O365's "kiosk worker".

2) BPOS has all of the 2007 suite of office products, and O365 is all 2010 office suite. so, during migration, do we (customers )have to do any thing to upgrade/migrate, or is the upgrade handled completely by the O365's team.
