But as 99% of people do subjected to such behavior I closed it. It really feels like the SUN divisions don't talk to each other, I mean, they also have a SDN program which I don't think I have ever gotten any benefit from. To their credit though, you do not have to register and login to download Java and NetBeans. That's one of the reasons people get annoyed at Oracle's JDeveloper. lol Yeah I noticed the browser redirect too after installing update 10 rc on Linux.

I also think the reason to register Sun presents are silly. Sun have some problems with user experience and marketing. This should be stated as clearly as you did. Maybe they'll understand. For updates - they are a must, but notification in the tray when applet is started? What the heck is it for? Sun, please, disable tray notification icon by default! I agree.
