I just did the survey but it seemed a crash for me right after the question 12 (How did you obtain your most recent copy of OpenOffice.org?), I mean I couldn't proceed anymore! What the heck?! :(

[towsonu2003]

crash for me right after the question 12
worked for me,I'd try again

[DC@DR]

OK, I just completed it. It's weird to crash unresponsively in the middle of the process, but it's even nicer to give me resume option to continue the survey :D

Filling it up right now...

That's alright. It is perfectly normal for one to doubt the origin of any mail that it's content says that you will win some prize such as money.
