@arstechnica the solution is simple - throw your still-working computer in the garbage and buy a new one.
...and end up with yet another problem when trying to fix the problem...
When trying to enroll in ESU and using the same MS account I've had since I created it for use with Visual Studio 6 - that BTW, I purchased at full price in 1999.
Now... how, _exactly_, am I supposed to correct this fresh new hell.
I can't get to a point where I can change anything to swap accounts or to get this crap 'corrected'.
"Sign out of everything" via the web won't allow entering a new login acct!
@arstechnica Textbook play. Create a problem.. sell the solution.
@arstechnica Sounds like a Windows problem and only a Windows problem.
@arstechnica they created this problem and yet they are surprised.... why?
