I went to the project page and installed it via
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/sunbird/nightly/latest/SunbirdSetup.exe
 2004-08-16 - Installer

After installing, I attempted to launch Sunbird, but nothing occured.  The mouse
icons show that it is 'working'  I look in Task Manager, and can find the
process, but almost immediately after I click it in an attempt to terminate it,
it deselects the process.  A right click->end process is also fruitless
returning "The operation requested is not valid for this process"  I now have
10% of my processor taken up by this application until I restart...  (I run
several crucial campus services, so that's not typically an option)

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Sunbird
2.Attempt to start it
3.????
4.Profit [shameless South Park reference...]


Actual Results:  
Application appears hung, eating 10% of CPU, and not responding to "End Task"

Expected Results:  
Hmm, maybe actually starting up would have been nice.  Or allowing me to
terminate the process.
