Unable to create Sun Online account: can't use VirtualBox
Posted: 3. Sep 2009, 11:24
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.
