Today I wanted to hit/hurt Microsoft (well, more than usual).
Set up the local account on a Microsoft Surface, plus all software, VPN, network drives blah blah all via "advanced" desktop. Delivered to customer. Customer wants to use cool apps on Metro screen, demonstrate to clients. Oh wait, it wants a Microsoft Account. Ok, enter all the details...
Final screen says switch to Microsoft Account (ie, you now login via Microsoft account, not local account). Options are Next and Cancel. Cancel cuts out the entire wizard and you can't use the Apps.
Seriously? Who approves/tests the crap Microsoft puts out? I need the local account to be active due to a number of configs for
business. More reading and testing required, I might be able to link the Microsoft account to the local one... argh
Further testing will need to be done on a domain account on another Surface...
