So, I am hoping to "up" this one 🙂 I have been using edge ... pretty much since it came out. I have to run on all three major operating systems and I need to segment my work as management, devops, and development. As such, I am hopeful that MSFT will see fit to move the needle on letting us use one o365/Azure/DirectoryOfChoice and allowing multiple profiles to be used with it. This is something that actually costs me lots of time ... and I assume MSFT money because I basically create free accounts to JDT (Just Do This) ... which is pretty dumb. It isn't nice for end users and it means that MSFT has "empty" accounts.

 

Here is how I do it in case others want to know how to:
1. open up an InPrivate window
2. go to outlook.com
3. signup for a free account. Create an account name that makes sense for what you want to do.
4. Us the new account as your "account" for the profile.

That should be it. MSFT ... please fix this ... this is dumb and completely not friendly to users ... I accept that I am a "power" user ... but really ... aren't we all eventually "power users"?
