I have found a fairly insignificant bug in SQL Server 2008.

I would like to report this to Microsoft, however, when I went to https://support.microsoft.com/ I realized that I may need to spend $300 CAD to report it.

Is there a place where I can report this bug without it costing me any money?

Below is a sample of the bug:

Works: 

USE [msdb]  
(SELECT * FROM msdbms)

Fails with “Incorrect syntax near the keyword ‘order’.”

USE [msdb]  
(SELECT * FROM msdbms ORDER BY dbms)

Also, if I am incorrect and this isn’t a bug can it be explained why not?

EDIT
I’ve added this to Microsoft Connect

    you can report bugs at the sql server connect site https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer

    however, here are 2 workarounds because you really don’t need the parenthesis

    USE [msdb]  
SELECT * FROM msdbms ORDER BY dbms

USE [msdb]  
select * from 
(SELECT * FROM msdbms) x
ORDER BY dbms
