Ok, really?  I can NOT sign onto a couple of my required computers with the Microsoft Account.  One of them is local user only (my home computer) and another is inside a corporate domain.  Until today, when I upgraded to 8.1 (without realizing how skydrive would disappear - stupid me to think it would work the same) this worked fine.  My skydrive folders worked great between machines.  So, I can't be alone in the world on this.  I have no problem with having to sign into skydrive file explorer with a Microsoft account, that seems fair.  But it is pretty stupid to expect me to even be able to sign into the PC with a Microsoft account.

Therefore, how long until this is resolved by Microsoft and I can sign into skydrive CLIENT version (or app or whatever) with the skydrive login and sign onto the PC with my normal login?
