Do enough people still use consumer Microsoft accounts? Except for myself, it has been a long time since I have encountered a hotmail address or live address or outlook address in the wild.

I've gotten career advice several times to get a GMail instead, because Microsoft was considered out of date and backward (not so much anymore).

There are lots of very popular Microsoft services for consumers including Xbox and Office 365. Combined, these have hundreds of millions of paid subscribers.

I'd expect this to grow now that Windows pushes more aggressively to use an MS account to login.

Plus, if this works as well as it does with the "corporate" AzureAD, it would be a better experience for users. Just "log on with your Windows account".

Not saying that's necessarily a good, thing, mind. Only that I expect support to broaden.

Anyone that uses Minecraft (edit: or Xbox) I'm sure it is only a matter of time until some middle manager stakes their promotion on merging it with github and/or linkedin.

Microsoft is the only company I deal with where I cannot reliably authenticate. I wish they'd just stop trying to run consumer accounts.

You can link your GitHub account to a Microsoft account and log in to Microsoft with your GitHub account, not sure if you can log in to GitHub with your Microsoft account tho.

How times have changed, I mostly hear Google being called backwards now for its view that customers are just beta testers you dispose of when your latest moonshot project doesn’t hit orbit.

You can have a ms account but never use or know or share the ms email address associated with it
