Do you enjoy the Microsoft training site? Well it’s about to get even better. On July 11, 2005, we’re moving to the Microsoft Retail ExpertZone!

Why the change?
You told us what you wanted – we delivered. Our new site will feature more!

* Customized training that helps you in your job
* Important announcements your customers need to know
* More in-stock hot rewards in the rewards shop! * rewards apply to participating retailers only

Can I take training or get rewards now?
No not until July 11. We’re taking a week to transition to make sure you have a good experience. You can still access your order history to finalize any open orders. On July 11, this site will retire and you will have to click www.microsoft.com/ExpertZone to take training.

Enter the ExpertZone on July 11!

* Click on www.microsoft.com/ExpertZone and save it in ‘your favorites’.
* Sign into the ExpertZone with the Microsoft Passport you use on today's training site. Your name, points you've earned and training history will automatically update.
* Select your company, your job description and the products you sell today. We will validate your account to ensure you are an active employee.
* Select your company from the drop down list and update your profile with your company and job information. Keep this profile current in order to ensure you see all the training and rewards available to you!
* Make sure to opt in to hear about our training announcements and rewards to ensure you have every opportunity to earn points and get rewards!

What about my points?
If you are an authorized company that will continue to participate in our reward shop program, the points you currently have will transfer to the new site. This change will not affect your overall point total! The training courses taken on Microsoft Retail Online Training will show as a single line item with the total points earned in the Training History section of Microsoft Retail ExpertZone.
 
hate to bump this, but has anyone else been able to access the new site? i'm having problems with passport logging in (big shock there)

possible the site is just getting hammered?
 
Yeah I can't get in now either. I got in yesterday and they make you resign up and then it says it takes 24 hours to verify your eligibility before you're in. At least I still have my couple thosand points.
 
I'm able to log in, but they are making me re-register so I have to wait till they confirm that I work at Game Stop before giving me access to the rewards part again.
 
I got back in. It seems even though they said your points carry over they reset everyone to 0. Conker will be up for reward next week along with the Halo 2 Mappack in August(1500 points each though). The rewards got a little better, but I wish they kept your points.

They kept my points.
