Microsoft defaults the local username to the first five letters of your first name, I believe. From a purely practical point of view, I just hate that using a MA auto generates your local username (typically into something painful) this way. So if your name is "Jonathan Smith" and you like to use "jsmith", bad luck, here's your "jonat"! If you could specify that at least, it wouldn't be so much of an issue to myself. A local account that I later link up has given me this control. Now I'll need a throw away, new local account, then link to my real one. What a PITA. (If anyone from MS is reading this, would love if you could fix this. Just add a username field to the online account please).
