I don't use an email address to log in at work. I get authenticated to the domain and the Microsoft account is tied to my work email address.
>Yes that's true - but I don't want to have to log into my windows machine with an email address - I just want to use a typical username/password.
>I don't understand why I just can't log into windows with a typical username/address and then setup each of the tiles/apps that want an email account with an email account. Plus the Skype thing is really stupid because I want to use my skype username not my microsoft account. It's crap like this that made me switch from a windows phone to an android phone and I see why MS is forever losing ground and has a shrinking user-base on the desktops and tablets. So basically in a nutshell - there is no way for me to do this? It seems like an obvious request that every user would want.
