    I once created a Microsoft account (for a Windows 7 machine I think) and entered a Google address. It didn’t seem to mind. It’s my Microsoft account to this day, not that I have much use for it. Maybe it’s gotten more weird nowadays.

      That’s the point. For a long time I assumed that they give you an e-mail address (currently Outlook) by default, like Google does with GMail, but they don’t.
