Hi Patrick,
did what you suggested and read this:
This site came up, when I entered the URL from your mail
http://us1.trymicrosoftoffice.com/ from this site I got to this one:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/default.aspx in this site I asked in
search for German language pack and got directed to this site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/re...+language+pack here
I clicked the option:
Microsoft office language packs 2007.
and the result was:
http://office.microsoft.com/_service...xerrorcode=404
suggesting that I had misspelled the address
And that is why I think that there is something wrong and that in reality
they have no product!
