Vista Enterprise X64 & Technet Website Problems!

I recently signed up to Technet Direct and installed Vista Enterprise on a
machine to play with.

So far its all been going well except when I try to use the technet website.
If i click on the subscriber benefits it will not load saying there is a
problem with my connection. A few other areas of the site give me similar
errors, so i've broken down and installed Firefox and it works flawlessly.

I've tried it with IE, IE 64-bit and IE no addons and the same problem. My
box with IE7 and XP works fine.

Any Ideas? I will try to call tech support monday if I have to.

Havent had time to contact microsoft, any one else seeing htis? I think its a
Java problem.
