This, so much. I don't want a Microsoft account, at all, ever. So I entered a bogus email address. Now (almost) every time I log in, it tells me there's a problem with my account that I need to fix...

Free clue for Microsoft: I know you keep wanting to "leverage" your base of Windows installs into more income in other areas. But when you use leverage, your users feel forced. And we don't like it. Stop it. You're pissing off your customers.

Or like the man said, "You can't win, Gates. The more you tighten your grip, the more computer systems slip through your fingers."

(Yes, I'm calling out Gates. It started under him, decades ago.)
