To actually answer your original problem on the site issues on signing up:
First off you can signup and its not browser related. The issue is that its a multiple drop down field so it requires you to fill in the field above it first before you can select a role. After you select a Department the Job Roles will auto populate based on what department your in and then become selectable. This is easily over looked because most of us see the first field and in some cases it list a value there so we think not to even further fill it out. Another option here is just sign into vmware.com with your registered credentials and when logged in go to the download trial link. It should auto recognize you and all you will have to do is click continue. You shouldn't be prompted for all the other info.(You must be already logged into vmware.com though.) When you do get on it just takes you to some video post and some pdf's you can download and check out.
Now to the actual root issue you will have is the fact that you want to download the trial. Join the club. Even after you fill out the form you will still not have access to download the software. You should still fill out the form as you will get sent to the email que that when available it will send you an email letting you know how to get the software and anything additional you may need. I'm not quite sure why they did not release the software on the same day as the announcement. However there is some great resources filtering in about view 4 so be sure to check those out while you wait for the software. They clear up alot of info on the new release and shows what features are new and what features are not available in release 1.
Some other useful info about view 4 licensing which I beleive is huge is the licensing now for view 4 is 100% conncurrent connection user. This includes your vSphere 4 Enterprise Plus license as part of your package with view now you get 1 simple license key that can be used on as many hosts as you have view licenses.
EX: Starter kit of View Premier 4 for 10 licenses Includes the ability to run 10 vSphere 4 Enterprise plus servers as long as the only thing running on the hosts is desktops, vCenter server, Management servers related to managing your view desktops. Yes I know this unrealistic to say 1 vm to 1 host but the imporatnt fact here is you can. You get the full vSphere infastructure worth 10's of thousands of dollars to fully support and run your VDM's. (consultant with a reseller for more information or contact me)
I will be glad to answer any questions you have just post a message on my profile.
I hope this answers your questions.
