How do you expect to use OneDrive without a Microsoft account?



>I had no problem figuring out how to add and remove the accounts - it took me just a couple of seconds to figure that out. My problem is that if you use the simple name and password vs a microsoft email account then some of the live tiles don't work - like skype and onedrive. So the result is if you log in with simple username and password, then click on skype or onedrive - its asks you to log into WINDOWS with an email account. Now that seems stupid - just let me log into skype with..uhh ya know..my skype account! The solution for me of course is to just use the desktop version of the software - but I just find it irritating you can't use some of the tiles and features without logging in with a MS account. I imagine there will be a hack for it sooner or later.
