Dear god, did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or what?!
The store's not fully working because Nokia are in the process of improving it, so that when it does start working again, there'll actually be the possibility of having more than like 3 applications on your phone.
Give it a break, and wait for them to finish sorting it out, jesus.

The Ovi store tells me to update my N900?

Is that what it tells you? Or are my config files messed up and it still thinking I'm on the OLD f/w?

Hmm it's not great to be pushing out that message. I literally got my N900 last night, clicked to visit the Ovi store and was told that my device isn't compatible. Now if I didn't know so much about the N900 and Ovi (ie the average user), I'd think "wow this is shite" and never try again.

...no - just says my handset is not compatible and to go to Ovi.com to view compatible handsets!!! The ironic thing is, when I go to Ovi.com - the N900 IS listed as one of the compatible handsets...!!!!

On the basis of not being able to load up the page, have you tried manually to go into a web page and then create your own short cut, it could be your favourites list has gone nuts and a slight change is required. One you can make by going to it manually and recreating the shortcut from there.

Worth a try if you haven't already.

Why would you possibly want nokia to leave ovi alone like that, instead of fixing it to work properly with maemo to allow all developers to publish content do it, as theyre currently doing?
That suggest Nokia do useful things with the ovi store, they meddle and it is still crap. Surely you are not suggesting Nokia actually put up the housewives video's and expect them to be a selling point. And the same programs are always in the reccommended, the same two dozen programs are in the lists and very little has ever actually been added by Nokia.

My own personal favourite game at the moment, is to go on a PC, visit the ovi store, don't choose your phone and look at all the HUGE array of games and software, then staying in a category like games, and choose your phone. then watch the massive filtering process that cuts it down to what you can actually get.

Has me laughing / crying for oooh minutes.

Which is exactly what's in the process of being changed. Until yesterday, the only N900 applications in the Ovi store were ones that were seeded there specifically by Nokia and their "chosen partners", with "normal" developers not being able to provide applications for Maemo.
As of yesterday's maintenance, that's changed and any developer can now publish Maemo software to the Ovi store, so it's now available for any apps/games/whatever that developers choose to publish to it.
