To Everyone

A particularly nasy one, involving Windows live, is an apparent "need" to set up an Win Live A/C, when creating a local limited user account in Win 8.1.

You can set an A/C up, just ignore the protestantations, and set up a restricted user A/C in the traditional way of Wondows past.

The designers seem to be coping some of the antics a well known internet search engine.

At the risk of inflaming ire in a well known contributor, its another barrier to leaving XP. PS I have not used Win 8.0, just 8.1.

It seems a bit of a flaff to a lot of ordinary user activities.

On another tack Ubuntu 13.x with its internet search results; located in the seach results pop up page is a non starter for New-Bees too.

There's no escape from crap user interface design !
