So I put my foot down about even having an xbox in the house but was over-ridden by wife and kid with his own funds.<br><br>During the network connection setup it was time to create an xbox live account. It asked for the email of the user. <br>
<br>Then it asked for the password for the email account.<br><br>um. hello?!? <br><br>So if someone has a hotmail or other microsoft account then they already have access to their account contents. But my kid doesn't _have_ a microsoft account. gmail, yes.<br>
<br>So he can't go forward 'cause there's no way in hell I'm letting him put in his gmail password without him having a microsoft account of some kind.<br><br>He just got a hard lesson on why Dad doesn't trust that company with any thing.<br clear="all">

consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as
they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the
outcome.<br>- <i><i><i><i>2011 Noam Chomsky<br><br><a href="http://heretothereideas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://heretothereideas.blogspot.com/</a><br></i></i></i></i><br>
