Latest update is that I found out about Office 2013 Preview and decided to sign up for it. But after registering for the preview when I finally got to the step of actually downloading something it never worked.
This was the same problem I had trying to register for Blizzard betas. In Microsoft's case the website wants to download
download_aspx?productReleaseID=O365SmallBusPremRetail&platform=X64&language=en-us&TaxRegion=pr&correlationId=1fe52592-c704-4da7-ade8-7b14b53e2edf&token=2139a91c-f0d1-4490-98c1-efdb85ebe17f&version=O15Beta2&source=O15OLSO365
but the download never works. I hate Microsoft. I even added their server to my trusted sites but that didn't help.
Blizzard can almost be forgiven, but here I am using a Microsoft browser running on a Microsoft OS to download a Microsoft file from a Microsoft server. You would think that they could make it work.
Edit: looking at Microsoft Answers it seems I am not the only one with this problem.
