So what happens? When you do this?
1) Log into domain with username/password.
2) Click on Skype tile.
3) Click on OneDrive tile.

Don't these popup message that says "to view your ONeDrive, you need to sign in to this PC with a Microsoft account" - and there is my complaint. I do not want to sign into my PC with a micrsosoft account just so I can use these tiles. Why the check do I need to log into my PC with MS account to do that? Seems ridiculous that I just can't sign into my OneDrive account via a tile without changing the way I log into the whole PC. Am I missing something here? Cause I do not see a way to do this and it seems like kinda a big deal to me.

>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.
