Uh-Oh: Connection Keys that Start With 1's or 0's

While we've already fixed this issue in the upcoming XNA Game Studio 2.0 I wanted to let you know about a small issue we've identified with the XNA Game Launcher when generating a Connection Key.
Simply put, if you're if your generating a Connection Key and it happens to start with the number one or zero (The letter "O" as well), you'll want to re-generate a new Connection Key before entering it into the connection dialog. If you try to use a key that starts with the number one or zero, the key will never be accepted even though you have typed it correctly.
Hopefully you don't run into the issue but if you do, all you should need to do is regenerate the key. I'll have more about newly redesigned Connect to Computer Screen in XNA Game Studio 2.0 in a future post.
