This is crazy that they do not support this.
Currently I use Google Apps but would like to go fully Microsoft... I tried changing to Office 365 small business so I could use my own domain but it is way to business focused with its features and with Lync in place of Skype (I know Lync works with Skype
but it is garbage as a casual home user).
Microsoft Home really does need to support this.. There online services are what tie there entire ecosystem together.. Windows 8.1 needs a Microsoft Account, Windows Phone 8.1 also needs a Microsoft account, and using office with a Microsoft account makes
it more functional.. (Then if you use it Xbox needs one to work...)
It seems stupid to need a Microsoft account to use all of this, But then have to use a separate account hosted via a 3rd party (my case Google Apps for Work) to host our emails...
Could Microsoft's team please get in touch with us on this thread about this.. I
