      The fact that two apps exist just contributes to the nightmare that is users confusing their corporate identity with a personal identity and Microsoft allowing users to create LIVE IDs with corporate email when a corporate identity already exists.

        Exactly. I'm also loath to waste support hours logging a ticket for this.
