Custom XML Court Ruling's Impact on Microsoft Learning Products
Following a recent court ruling, we have temporarily removed all virtual hard 
drive (VHD) images that contain Office 2003 and Office 2007 from impacted 
Microsoft Learning products. We apologize for the inconvenience. We are working 
quickly to make these images available as soon as possible. As soon as we have 
an exact timing of the solution, we will inform you through this Web site.
*       What is the background to this issue?
Microsoft is updating its Office 2003 and 2007 products to comply with a recent 
U.S. court order. In the United States and United States territories, we have 
temporarily blocked access to all Courseware virtual hard drive (VHD) images 
that contain Office 2003 and Office 2007 from the MCT Download Center for 
updating. We apologize for the inconvenience. We are working quickly to make 
these images available as soon as possible.
*       Which Microsoft Learning products and services are affected?
Please review the list of affected Microsoft Learning products (download XLSX, 
47 KB)
*       Are customers allowed to continue using non-remediated Microsoft 
Learning products that they've already downloaded?
Yes. If you downloaded or purchased the affected Microsoft Learning products 
(including products related to Microsoft Office Word as well as other 
Office-related products) earlier, you can continue to use them.
*       How long will it be before I can access these products again?
We are still analyzing the situation and working on the solution; therefore we 
don't know the exact timing of the resolution. We will provide ongoing updates 
through our regular channels as we gain more understanding of the scope of this 
issue.
*       Is this for U.S. and U.S. territories only?
Yes, except for e-learning and online lab products which have been removed and 
will impact customers worldwide. If you are outside the U.S. and U.S. 
territories, you can access all VHDs in the MCT Download Center by selecting 
English for "Learning Product Language" and click GO.

I was told this affects the Exchange 2010 course I was going to take, as well 
as Sharepoint, even going back early versions of SQL.  I'm waiting for more 
information.
