I could have sworn that both MS and Google required a live and google account to actually access their dev tools.. huh, guess not.

That said, these complaints about registering to access proprietary data always struck me as a bit silly.

Yeah, RIM has the same requirement when you try to view content from their developer conferences (DevCon, Jam, World, etc.). It is an issue that BB developers have clamoured for the removal of too.

However, the actual documentation and tools don't require an account to access. Just conference content.
