I got the impression from the wording of the 'open an account' page that I was expected to be a developer. I am not. I look at myself more as the canary in the coal mine, trying to alert folks to a problem. If, in Suns infinite wisdom, they don't want to see bug reports, then they've successfully made their point. I personally would like to see it succeed, by either name, blowing M$Office out of both the enterprise and at home just because I'm not an M$ fan. But IMO, blocking the common user from filing a bug report is not in your best interests in the long run. If thats not how I was supposed to interpret that, then please feel free to correct me, and I'l go register (I thought I did that when it was installed and I chose the register now option because I'm on DSL) and file a proper bug report.
