I am tired of one bug.
When I open Windows Live Messenger (for chatting with friends), it automatically connects with the account I use for Windows 8.
But... my very old Messenger account is NOT the one I am using for Windows, exactly for the reason that I want to keep some privacy measures and not to show all my private life to anyone accesing my computer. That is why I created a new account for W8, with no emails, no messenger, etc. Just to log in, since Microsoft now forces us to log in with one of their accounts if we just want to use our computers...
Anyway... what is making me really furious is that when I open Messenger, I have to log off this account and log in again with my old one. Annoying enough.
But it gives you the option to "Forget" this account. So I click in "Forget" and my user/pass will be blank to enter my other one.
But... the next time I open Messenger... it is not "forgotten" at all, and again, and again, and again, forever and ever, it will connect directly with the wrong account, I will have to cancel it or log off, click on "Forget" (lie, it doesn't forget it at all) and insert the address I want.
So annoying all these classic Microsoft annoyances that never get corrected.
Anyone else experiencing the same when trying to use Messenger with a different account?
