Problems with MSN site

[Honza]

Hi everybody,

if you have MSN account, it is no problem to sign in EU SW group.
I already have password and have no problems signing in. (I created 
while ago).
Yes, MSN is quite complicate for not english speaking users (but I guess 
that it is also difficult for english speaking users...)

so good luck signing in
