This is gonna piss some people off...

Going to download the spankin new Enterprise Library, and before you can download you're presented with this:

Enterprise Library

Your registration information enables us to better provide you with the latest resources relevant to your needs, including pointers to service packs, security notices, training, trial versions of new products, conferences, new books, and more. Note that at any time you can manage all your Microsoft.com communication preferences from our Profile Center. Thank you for your interest in this download.

Registration required for this download

Yes, please take me to the registration page and then start the download.
No, I do not wish to register--which is required for this download--so please return me to the previous page.
 
I'll probably still download it on Monday, but it'll be fun to see what people say about this.

The registration process is to help us better connect with you. I hope it doesn't detract you from downloading. I think you will love it.

Well I went through the whole process. Gave my passport account, filled out the whole registration form, confirmed my registration, etc. And ended up with this:
"Sorry, we are unable to show you the page you requested. Please try again later."

The registration is Passport-based. Just use one of your fake Passports. We all have at least a dozen, right?
