My problem with Microsoft products

If you follow my blog for a while, you know I hate Microsoft. That’s a fact. But in this post, I will do a different take – a look at their products instead of the practices.

So, recently I had the experience of having to use Microsoft for business. This means… well, honestly, I don’t know what that means – and that is part of the problem. Am I using Office 365? No, it doesn’t seem so. So is it a Microsoft account? Again, no – logging in to it says that my account doesn’t exist. Is it Hotmail? No. Is it Outlook? Well, kinda – I do use outlook on this account, but if I go to outlook.com and try to login, it redirects me to login.live.com. So, my business account is a Microsoft Live account, right?

Well, no. Of course, not.
