How to get the XP 64 beta?

I've gone here
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/evaluation/trial.mspx) three
times now and signed up for the XP 64 beta and they keep sending me
the same truncated email, the email they send is below. There is no
download link in it. I can't find a way to contact Microsoft without
paying $45.00 for a support session to let them know about this
problem so thought I would post it here and hope someone from MS can
get this sorted. Here's the useless email they keep sending me.

My own request came with the download link in the email. Also the email was
quite a bit longer then what you posted. Do you have some kind of limit on
how many lines you can get in an email or settings that don't allow URL
links in your emails? Probably not but for some reason you didn't get the
complete email.

I used both Outlook Express and Thunderbird and the email comes
through the same way in both. It's not my settings causing the issue.
I'm in contact with someone from MS now so should get it sorted soon.
Thx.
