Unable to create Sun Online account: can't use VirtualBox

Post by kikinovak »

Hi,

I've been a happy VirtualBox user for the last half year or so. I just installed the latest version on my box running CentOS 5.3 (a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux). When starting VirtualBox, I have a new "option": either login with my valid Sun Online account (what the *** ?) or... create a new Sun Online account. So I fill the forms with everything, name, email address, password, confirmation... and I get "invalid IP address"... and that's it.

My advice to the engineers at Sun: if you absolutely feel the urge to implement those stinking intrusive forms, at least do it correctly. I planned to use VirtualBox this morning to do some work, and it looks like the new feature will successfully prevent me from doing just that.

You can cancel the registration dialogue and work with VB without limitations. The dialogue will show up a few more times and should stay away after that.
