I'm anxious to see what Microsoft has in store, but I'm not excited. The recent post here by the developer whose system credentials were changed after he linked his Microsoft account is part of the reason why. Of course I'd want access to the Microsoft Store, but I don't want to log to the system with those credentials, I want to keep the ones that were already set. I doubt this will be the direction that Threshold will take, and if it turns into another Win8 turd I'll probably be done with the Windows OS
EDIT: Since I've been downvoted to oblivion I can only assume that the MS employees here like my post about as much as I like their Winows 8 OS
- wvenable 12y agoI encountered that same issue; in order to use Metro I have to convert my regular account to an online live account and then use those credentials for local login. I don't want to do that. So I don't use Metro at all. But frankly, I don't see Microsoft changing course on that.

- arenaninja 12y agoDo you have a separate (admin) account that's linked to a Windows account? Because I think that's the way around it, maintaining 2 accounts
