On a different topic, I am using some MS APIs at work (TTS stuff) and my impression of this MS products is bad, it feels like different teams that hate each other were forced to work on this shit and some other team is forced to cover it up with documentation. I don't recommend MS stuff if you have alternatives.
So I would prefer MS do this;
1 this is our 2 completly different and incompatible APIs , they might look similar but are not the same, outpiut can differ even if you send same params to each one
2 give me good error messages, like if is your fault a request fails make it clear , if is my input the problem make it clear it is me and what is wrong
Wow, I had no idea they were that good. Is there a way to get at them from a consumer level? For example, there are plenty of e-reader apps that use Google's TTS to read epub books as audiobooks. Anything similar for Microsoft or is it all on the developer side?

Separate logins incur a cost to both the service operator (who has to run multiple secure identity systems, build multiple 2FA systems, manage multiple customer service teams, etc) and the client (who has to remember multiple passwords). Consolidation of identity services is natural. One secure login is better than dozens of insecure ones.
Before you yell "password manager" admit that the average person doesn't even know what a password manager is. "Every user changes their workflow" is not a practical solution.
In short: yes.
In long: I want separate logins for different domains. In no universe should Minecraft share a login service with Azure cloud engineering. And I shouldn't have to log in to use offline applications locally. And teams should support different logins for many accounts, like Slack figured out ages ago. By forcing changes to the login pattern for negligible to negative consumer benefit, it's clear Microsoft continues to be broken.
Microsoft and login services are terrible, and uniting them under one login to rule them all doesn't help.
I want a separate login for Minecraft than for MS services, yes.
> the client (who has to remember multiple passwords)
I'd guess that the majority of Mojang accounts don't have a corresponding MS account already.
> "Every user changes their workflow" is not a practical solution.
But that's precisely what MS are enforcing - you have to migrate your Mojang account to an MS account.
No, they have to keep all that data and confirm even 2 years from now that I paid for this game and migrate my logins ,
Tell me know what is more expensive
1 Keep the Mojang logins for Java edition. do nothing
2 Write ton of code to force migrate Java edition players into the XBox ,Microsoft accounts.
It is not lke I can play from Linux PC with an XBox person multiplayer so there is Zero benefit for me, just some mangers and develoeprs at MS getting busy. They fucked up my skype account move so this is why I don't like when they are trying to move me to their shit account, Now what? when they block my MS account I lose Skype and Minecraft too?
Ah yes, the old "you had a Microsoft account you didn't know about so when we merged the two any contacts you didn't have on both accounts were permanently erased" trick. Happened to me.
