Nice little trick you can use to get past the registration requirements of many websites.
You can change your Browser Identification string in the windows registry so web sites think you are a google robot.
You will need to change it back to use the Windows Update site (automatic updates still work).
save this as browser.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Micro$oft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent] @="Googlebot/2.1" "Compatible"="+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html" |
To undo:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Micro$oft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent] @="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) |
note: check the word Micro$oft you need to change the $ into s.. this is purposely change to avoid miro$oft on detecting the code
Opera has this functionality built in. Firefox users can download this extension to change the user agent:Mozdev
