Unfortunately you've encountered one of the main bugs with the preview release. For a few cases, there's an automatic login and you won't need the username's or passwords. > What presented in front of me was a simple menu with user "jack" logged > in.

Hmmmm....No office of any sort (StarOffice or OpenOffice) is present We had hoped to include OpenOffice, but unfortunately it didn't make the cut.
