Thank you Chris. I've just tried doing that. I've unregistered and I have a confirmation email that my account has been deactivated. However, it won't let me re-use my email address. Bizarrely, it accepts my credentials, but then forwards me to another page where I'm not logged in. It could be a synching issue, so I will try again later today. There is something fundamentally wrong about how user access works. I'm guessing that some of the back-end systems aren't fully integrated. I wonder how many phantom accounts are being maintained by VMWare.  If there are any VMWare people reading this, can you please get someone to fix it.

I give up. I think I'm just going to pay for Parallels. So far: I've tried Chrome, Safari and Firefox on OSX; I've dialled down the security controls on all of my browsers; I've turned off my AV (in the event it was doing something funky); and I've spun up a Linux instance in a Parallels trial (oh the irony), using Firefox, to no avail. Each time, with the same unhelpful 'something has gone wrong' message. Sorry VMWare, I'm not going to lie: this has been a terrible experience!
