Microsoft Connect server down ?

When I try to connect in XP or Vista I get the following message :The system
has encountered an unexpected error. We apologize for the inconvenience. The
issue will be addressed as quickly as possible.



If this error continues, click the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page
to report the issue and include this error ID in your e-mail:
6f24f166-45b1-4ffb-af0c-6dfa4259b6d7


Microsoft Connect welcome page.


I also get it when trying the Contact Us link.

Probably down for maintenance.
