Groove 2007 - No free invites?

[StuddyMX]

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right discussion group (or if there is even a groove
discussion group), but here it goes...

I am trying to set up a Groove workspace by having colleagues sign up and
make use of the free trial provided by Groove (see email that is generated by
Groove below):

Steven Evans ([email protected]) has invited you to join a Groove
workspace called "My Space".

New to Groove?
==============================================================================
Download a free trial version of Microsoft Office Groove 2007 and
accept the invitation by clicking on the link below:

http://invitation.groove.microsoft.com/download/?Invitation=B475CA47-D77B-4B68-AA32-4D7356990D7B
Already Have Groove?
==============================================================================
Accept the invitation by clicking on the link below:

http://invitation.groove.microsoft.com/?Invitation=B475CA47-D77B-4B68-AA32-4D7356990D7B

Microsoft Office Groove 2007 software allows groups of people to work
together securely as if they're in the same location. Groove has everything
your group needs to share files, manage projects, conduct meetings, and get
work done.
For more information about Groove go to
http://r.office.microsoft.com/r/rlidGrooveC103?clid=en-us
Note: If you're not prompted to accept the invitation after you start
Groove, open the attached .GRV file.

------------------------

However, when they click on the invitation link it takes them to:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/groove/default.aspx - were it mentions
nothing of a free trial!

Your advice in this matter would be greatly received.

Many thanks,

Steve

Hi MX.,

Well, I'm not sure how happy Steven (you) will be with posting his email address in the newsgroups (the spambots pick things up very
quickly <g>), but there is a separate newsgroup for Groove that you can access through the link below or through their home page at
http://office.microsoft.com/groove

'My space' eh <g>
