SharePoint Designer editing for SharePoint Server 2010

If your organization decides to edit/create SharePoint 2010 content via SharePoint Designer, ensure you use the correct version of the designer.  I spent three hours trying to figure out why I kept getting "This web site has been configured to disallow editing with SharePoint Designer."  I created a brand new SharePoint site, ensured the check-boxes were checked and still received that message.  No where in Microsoft's website could I explicitly find a solution.  Finally someone blogged a solution to the problem, mentioning that they installed SharePoint Designer version 2010 and the problem was solved.  Luckily, SharePoint Designer 2010 is a free downloadable application.  Click here to visit the Microsoft site.
